Prices represent open (spot) market sales by first handlers on products of generally good quality and condition. The prices may include promotional allowances or other incentives. No consideration is given to after-sale adjustments. Reported prices generally include - but are not limited to - applicable brokerage fees and commissions, customs fees and duties, U.S. packaging costs, and U.S. freight costs prior to first sale, all paid by the shipper/seller.
Agronometrics uses an average price to represent the high and low prices reported by the USDA. The calculation uses the Mostly Low and Mostly High prices when they are reported. If these are not available, the calculation is made using the values for High Price and Low Price. Reports with no pricing information are ignored. See the example below:
All pricing values are an average of the individual prices reported by the source. The average of all parameters being compared is identified with a thicker red line.
