Why it matters
These reports move agricultural futures and, through food prices, inflation. The US Department of Agriculture's March plantings and quarterly stocks reports can move corn, wheat and soybeans sharply; Global Dairy Trade auctions matter for New Zealand and its dollar.
How it is calculated
Farmer surveys (plantings, stocks), auction results (dairy) or price indexes of traded foods.
What changes mean
- Compare with trade estimates; a surprise of a few percent can move prices limit up or down.
A short history
The USDA has published crop reports since the 19th century; the FAO food price index started in 1996.
