06Method, sources and use
The report is published on the Thursday after the week, so that markets that publish with a delay are included. Each series is compared on its last quote in the week with its last quote in the four weeks before. Changes are calculated in the market’s own currency and unit, so no exchange rates are involved. Medians are used so that a single unusual quote does not move a product or a country. Product medians beyond ±60% in a week are left out as likely changes of unit, size or quality. Quotes of processed goods are excluded.
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.
