Questions and answers
What is the Husfarm Crab Index today?
On 11 November 2026 the Husfarm Crab Index was 8.37 EUR per kilogram: the median wholesale price of 21 quotations from 7 markets in 4 countries. Half of the quotations were between 3.94 and 18.06 EUR/kg.
Where are crab prices lowest and highest?
Among countries with at least two quotations in the index, the median was lowest in India (1.42 EUR/kg) and highest in France (19.00 EUR/kg). Markets quote different varieties, grades and packs, so differences between countries also reflect what is sold.
Are crab prices rising or falling?
The latest quotations were unchanged on the previous ones. Wholesale prices of fresh products are seasonal, so a comparison with the same month a year earlier is the most useful.
How is the Husfarm Crab Index calculated?
It takes every wholesale-level crab quotation dated within 31 days, converts it to EUR per kilogram and reports the median. The monthly index chains the month-to-month price changes of each series, averaged within each market and then across markets, so every market counts once and exchange-rate moves do not affect the change.
How often is the Husfarm Crab Index updated?
It is recalculated with every update of the quotations; the current figures use data to 11 November 2026. The monthly index is published for completed months.
How the indices are calculated
Constituents
An index includes every wholesale-level Husfarm quotation of its product, type or category that is dated within 31 days of the publication date: prices at wholesale markets, from wholesalers and at produce and fish auctions, and wholesale prices from official price reports. Farm-gate and purchase prices, selling prices of processors and packers, retail prices, exchange quotations, international benchmarks and prices from reports that do not state the stage of the supply chain are left out, so every index compares prices at the same stage. Futures, processed, dried, frozen and cooked forms are left out, as are by-products such as bran or offal. A product index covering the world needs at least 20 quotations from three countries; a continental index needs 15 quotations from four markets in two countries.
Median price
The headline price is the median of the constituents in EUR per kilogram. Prices are converted at the exchange rates of 10 November 2026 and quotations without a known weight per unit are left out of the median. The median is not moved by one extreme market, and the interquartile range on each index page shows how wide prices are.
Latest change
The latest change compares each constituent with its own previous quotation (at most 21 days earlier), in the same currency and unit. Changes are averaged geometrically within each market and then across markets, so each market counts once and exchange-rate moves do not affect the figure. It needs at least two markets.
Monthly index
For each series Husfarm takes the average price of the month, converted to EUR at that month’s average reference rate of the European Central Bank. The month-to-month change of every series quoted in both months (or in the month and up to two months before) is averaged geometrically within its market, then across markets with equal weights, and the monthly links are chained. Changes beyond a factor of four are treated as unit or data errors and dropped. Composite indices chain the equally weighted links of their product indices.
A month is published only when at least three series from two markets (four product indices for a composite) are available, and the history starts after the last month that does not meet this condition. A history of fewer than six months is not shown. The reference base is the 2025 average = 100 where the history covers the whole of 2025, otherwise its first month. The last published month is October 2026; ECB reference rates are used up to 10 November 2026.
Series quoted in currencies without an ECB reference rate or a fixed peg to one (for example the Uruguayan and Argentine peso) count in the median price and the latest change but not in the monthly index.
Revisions
Indices are recalculated with every update of the quotations. Late or corrected quotations can revise the latest months; the full series is always available as CSV.
