Unit Costs
This page provides ranges of current unit costs for typical project inputs as generated by FAO's Procurement Service. The costs given in the table below are estimated ex-work costs. To obtain an estimated total delivery cost, i.e. Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) price, by surface freight, an estimated 12 percent should be added to the given cost. For an estimated total delivery cost, i.e. DDU price, by air, an estimated 22 percent should be added to the given ex-work cost.
The below data is supplemented by illustrative examples from recent FAO Investment Centre field missions to African countries. Apart from cost items frequently used in technical cooperation activities, the site also includes unit costs of inputs typical for emergency projects such as seeds and hand tools, animals or generator sets.
These unit costs are meant to provide the users of the Toolkit with only orders of magnitude. The costs cannot substitute for specific cost data that should be collected in the country concerned.
For unit cost quotations for specific items by country, see also the UNDP's Inter-Agency Procurement Services Office (IAPSO) web site.
