About the data

Understand the price.
Know the source.

AgraX organizes USDA produce market reports into searchable prices. Here’s where the numbers come from, what each quote means, and what to check before comparing.

01 / Sources

Reported by USDA. Organized by AgraX.

Our source is the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), Specialty Crops Market News. AgraX structures the reported information so you can browse by market, commodity, variety, and origin.

Terminal market prices

Wholesale prices reported at selected city terminal markets. Compare quotes within the same market and specification.

Shipping point prices

Prices reported at producing areas and import entry points. These describe a different stage of trade from terminal prices.

02 / Reading a quote

A price belongs to a specific product.

Match the variety, origin, package, size, grade, and condition before comparing prices. A carton price is not a per-pound price unless the report says so.

Reported range

The range applies to this specification. Changing the size, package, or origin changes the comparison.

Reported price
The price or low–high range supplied in the source report. Quote tables preserve the range and any available qualifiers.
Mostly
An additional price or range identified as “mostly” in the report. When supplied, it appears alongside the full reported range.
Mid-range
Where AgraX uses a single representative value, a midpoint may be calculated from a reported range. For example, $32–$36 has a $34 midpoint. It is not a transaction-weighted average.
Higher, lower, steady
Market commentary from the report. These labels are not a calculated percentage change for every quote.
A dash (—)
A value is unavailable or no matching quote was found. It does not mean zero.
03 / Dates & freshness

Read the report date first.

Prices are dated observations, not live bids. Different markets and report groups can publish at different times. The date shown with the market or quote tells you which reporting period you are viewing.

“Latest” does not always mean today.

The dashboard shows the latest available publications for each market and report category. Select a specification to view its available reported history. A quote that did not appear in a newer report should not be treated as a newly reported price.

Publication gaps, holidays, and delays in processing can affect freshness. Check the date and the original USDA report when timing matters.

04 / Coverage & limits

Use the details behind the number.

  • Coverage varies. Market and commodity counts reflect available reports. Missing products or markets do not imply no trade occurred.
  • Origins retain their detail. Country filters group states and districts under a country. Individual quotes keep their reported origin.
  • Different market stages are not interchangeable. A terminal–shipping point difference is not a profit margin; freight, handling, timing, and specifications can affect comparisons.
  • Reports are a reference. A published price is not an offer or a guarantee of the price available for your order.
05 / Corrections
