POULTRY MARKET STATISTICS

2010

Definition of Terms

An average price is computed by dividing the sum of the midpoints of price ranges reported during the period by the

number of price ranges during the period.

A weighted average price is computed by dividing the total value of the sales during the period by the total number of

units sold during the period.

A yearly average price is the mean of the 12 monthly averages, unless otherwise noted.

A monthly average price is not computed when a price is not reported for 5 or more consecutive trading days.

A yearly average price may not be computed when an average price is not reported for 1 or more months.

Where appropriate, a yearly price may be computed when the volumes associated with all reported

prices can be determined; in which case, a yearly weighted average may be reported.

Matched plant comparisons are made by comparing information from the same sources reporting in each of two different

periods, e.g., current and previous week or current and previous year.
