Use this when a user asks what farmers or wholesalers get for a food commodity (wheat, barley, maize, beef, pigs, lamb, chicken, eggs, milk, butter and other dairy products, olive oil, fruit and vegetables) in EU member states, how that price compares with last week, last month or a year ago, or how high it is against the last 12 months. Returns the latest official price for the country and product, per tonne or per 100 kg and per kg, for the week (milk: month) it applies to, the stage of the supply chain it is quoted at (farm gate, ex-silo, carcass, ex-packaging station), the change from the previous period and from a year earlier, the last 12 months, the other series the portal holds, and the official source and licence. This is a published price (price_type official_statistic), not a range built from trades, so the range fields are null and there is no sample size. How fresh: weekly for most products (raw milk monthly), updated as Member States report, usually within days (raw milk about two weeks after the month ends). Each answer states its week or month and flags quotes that are older than usual (fruit and vegetables are only quoted in season). Always read the period in the answer: an old quote is flagged and given lower confidence. Do not use for supermarket or shop prices, for the price of a particular farm, field, animal or meal, for farmland, for fuel or energy, for futures or stock-market prices, or for other countries.
