The Top 10 in detail
Prices in EUR per kg. Typical range: the middle half of current quotes (25th to 75th percentile). Cheapest and dearest country: country medians, among countries with at least three quotes. Changes over 1 and 12 months come from the product’s monthly Husfarm index, chain-linked so that markets entering or leaving do not move it.

How the Top 10 is calculated
- Which prices
- Current wholesale quotes: prices at wholesale markets and auctions published in the last 31 days, as each source publishes them. Retail, farm-gate, processed, dried and frozen products are left out, as in the Husfarm product indices.
- Per kilogram
- Only quotes with a known weight per unit count: prices per kilogram, and prices per box, sack or crate whose weight the market states, divided by that weight.
- In euros
- Prices are converted at the European Central Bank reference rates of 13 Nov 2026; for currencies the ECB does not quote, market rates are used, as described in the methodology.
- Median, not average
- The world price is the median of all qualifying quotes: half are cheaper, half dearer. A few very expensive or very cheap markets cannot pull it, which an average would allow. Every quote counts once, so countries quoted by many markets weigh more.
- Changes
- “Latest” compares each market’s latest quote with its previous one, up to three weeks apart, and averages the changes across markets. The 1-month and 12-month changes and the trend line come from the monthly product index.
- The ten products
- Staple fresh foods traded in most countries and quoted by the largest number of markets on Husfarm. For onions, dry onions are counted; other types have their own index.
