"A price index (plural: “price indices” or “price indexes”) is a normalized average (typically a weighted average) of price relatives for a given class of goods or services in a given region, during a given interval of time. It is a statistic designed to help to compare how these price relatives, taken as a whole, differ between time periods or geographical locations.
Price indexes have several potential uses. For particularly broad indices, the index can be said to measure the economy's general price level or a cost of living. More narrow price indices can help producers with business plans and pricing. Sometimes, they can be useful in helping to guide investment." [Price index. Wikipedia]

This picture bar graph sample shows wheat area harvested and production in Peru from 2006 to 2015. It was designed using data from website of the Foreign Agriculfural Service, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
"Wheat remains a minor crop in Peru with most of the production concentrated in the temperate, southern highlands. Grown at 2,800 to 3,500 meters above sea level, production remains limited by geography as well as current economics. The Peruvian farmer cultivates only about two hectares of wheat, on average. While wheat production has increased slightly since 1994, it has remained relatively stable for the last six years at around 225,000 MT."
