Manufacturing drives the rise in producer prices
The annual 6.6% increase applies to the producer price index for industrial activity excluding cotton ginning, which ANSD tracks separately. The agency identifies the 8.8% rise in manufactured-product prices as the main sectoral driver. These are factory-gate producer prices, rather than prices paid directly by households.
The divergence is also evident over the year to date. Across the first nine months of 2026, industrial producer prices excluding cotton ginning were 5.6% higher than in January–September 2025. Cotton-ginning prices fell 11.6% on the same cumulative comparison.
An index based on factory-gate transactions
The revised industrial producer price index, with 2015 as its base year, measures prices at the factory gate excluding taxes and transport margins. It covers mining, manufacturing, energy, water and sanitation, along with certain industrial services. ANSD reports an 82.4% response rate for the enterprise survey underlying the September release.
ANSD calculates the index using dynamic weights derived from turnover and value added, updated annually. The figures may be revised when survey collection is incomplete. The agency schedules its next monthly release for 30 November 2026.
