Prices represent open (spot) market sales by first handlers on conventional fruits and vegetables of generally good quality and condition. The prices may include promotional allowances or other incentives. No consideration is given to after-sale adjustments. Reported prices generally include - but are not limited to - applicable brokerage fees and commissions, customs fees and duties, U.S. packaging costs, and U.S. freight costs prior to first sale, all paid by the shipper/seller.
Volumes represent the kilograms imported into the US, collected by the Department of Homeland Security crossing the border by land, sea, or air. Local production is made available from a variety of sources and includes shipments by train and volumes otherwise reported by associations.
