PREFACE	 	
 	Price  collection  is  one  of  the  major  item	s of  work  undertaken  by  the  Department  of 	
Economics and Statistics. The importance and usefulness of the information pertaining to the 
price movements  has much significance. This  Department  has been  collecting different  types 
of  prices  viz.  Farm  price,  Mark	et  price,  etc.  (both  Wholesale  and  Retail).  These  prices  are 	
being  widely  used  for  various  purposes  such  as 	for  the  p	reparation  of  Indices,  to	 provide 	
compensation  to  Farmer	s  and  for  tendering  consumable  articles  for  Govt.  Institutions. 	
Among  the  Retail  pr	ices,  the 	statement  of 	daily  prices  of  fifty  essential  commodities  being 	
collected  on  daily  basis  fr	om  District  Headquarters  assume	 significance,  because 	it 	is 	being	 	
forwarded  daily  to  the  office  of 	the  Chief	 Minister  and  Minist	er  of  Food  and  Civil  Supplie	s, 	
Minister  for  Agriculture,	 Chief	 Secretary,	 Food  and 	Civil  Supplies  Secretary	, Planning 	
secretary,	 Department of Civil supplies	, Res	erve Bank of India	, Consumer 	fed	 etc	. In addition 	
to the daily prices, weekly prices are also being collected every Friday	. 	
 	From  January  2004  onwards  a  publication  titled  “PRICE  BULLETIN”  is  being 	
prepared  and  published  mo	nthly  incorporating  the  Retail  P	rices  of  main  essential 	
commodities  under  8  major  groups.  Group  wise  analysis  has  been  made  with  reference  to 
current  month,  previous  month  and 	the 	corresponding  month  of  the  previous  year  with 	
suitable  pictorial  representation	s. These  prices  are  being  col	lected  from  the  market	 by  the 	
Price collectors and supervised by district level Officers	 	
This publication is being prepared and published by Prices Division.	 I appreciate the 	
work  done  by	 Sri.	M.G.	Haridas  (A	ssistant  Director) 	Smt.Shamju.B.K  (R	esearch  officer), 	
Sri.Sooraj Cheruthottathil (Statistical Assistant Grade	-I) for bringing out such a 	publication
