07Method, sources and use
Monthly changes compare the last quote of each series in October 2026 with its last quote in September 2026, in the series’ own currency. Product figures are medians across series; for groups and countries the median covers the series whose price moved by at least half a per cent. Monthly product medians beyond ±60% are left out as likely changes of unit, size or quality.
Quotes come from wholesale markets, exchanges and official price reports as they publish them; every quote on husfarm.com links to its market and source. This report was generated automatically from those quotes and is not edited by hand.
