Custom Reports - By commodity is a good place to start because it directs you to information for terminal markets, shipping point, retail and movement for a commodity from a single page.

Many of the text and composite PDF formatted reports are still available under the heading Standard Reports on the Specialty Crops Market News Home Page.

Under the Custom Reports heading select "CUSTOM REPORT" where you can create a report by commodity by a day for up to a year and by week for up to two years.

There is a limit of three months because of the volume of data. You can, however, download information for a terminal market for all commodities for a year if you select it on a weekly basis.

Select RASPBERRIES from the Refine Results area of the report header. You can also view a raspberry report from Custom Reports By Commodity and when the report displays, select "shipping Point" under "Report Type".

Run a Custom Report for Shipping Point or for Movement and for the Aggregate (frequency) select "Season (by Day)" or "Season (by week)". Movement reports also have an option of "Season (by month)". You can only run a report for one season. However, when specific dates are entered for a Custom report by day, week or month parts of multiple seasons may be included.

Current text and composite PDF reports are available under the heading Standard Reports on the Specialty Crops Market News Home Page. Back issues are available for five years at Market News Search, available when current standard reports are selected. You may also click on the link Market News Search at the top right side of Specialty Crops home page. For text reports enter the report code (get a sample report at Standard Reports if you do not know the code - the code is usually listed below the office phone number) and for PDF reports type in the title of the report at "Find Results". Please reference Using Market News Search for more details.

Portal information is available from 1998 to the present. Text reports and composite PDF reports from the past five years are available through the "Market News Search".

There are two easy ways:
1) Run a report in Custom Reports By Commodity or Custom Reports By Report Type for the current day and us the calendar option in the report header to change the day to the corresponding date for last year.
2) Run a Custom Report for a terminal market (omit the date for the latest report) and click "Edit Query" in the report header. Change the date for the query to the corresponding day for last year.

Run a Custom Report for Movement by Commodity (in this case, limes). Select the location, time period etc as desired. In Step 3 click on the "Refine" button (which appears next to the "Run" button) and change the "Vol. in pounds" to the desired truck load equivalent (for example, 40,000 lbs or 42,000 lbs) and then click "Run"

Run a Custom Report for one Commodity and one Location. A Graph icon will display in the upper right corner of the report. Graphs are currently unavailable for Movement reports by day and for Monthly and Annual Market News Reports with Commerce Import Data.

There are two ways: 1) Run a Custom Report for shipping point for a single location and commodity on a weekly basis. A Graph icon will display in the upper right corner of the report. On the options for the graph, select the "Show Movement Volume:" button. The volume displayed on the graph is for the total volume for the origin represented by the location selected for shipping point prices. 2) Use the Custom Average Pricing Tool (CAT) and select 'Shipping Point/Movement Graph' on a weekly or monthly basis. The price average shown is for all varieties, packages, sizes etc. and is compared to the total volume for the origin represented by the location selected for shipping point prices.

Organic information is displayed along with product that is not labeled as organic. You can refine a report to select only organic information to be displayed by selecting "organic" in the "Type:" option. In addition, a composite PDF formatted report which lists all organic information for a single day is available in the National Specialty Crops Organic Summary.

The refine button is present on Custom Reports when you select one commodity and one location at a time. It is not available when multiple commodities and locations are selected.

The season for a commodity begins when the new growing season starts. For example, if a commodity is first shipped beginning September, 2013 the information on the report will generally be shown as the 2013 season from September 2013 to August 2014. Some seasons are shorter than 12 months.

The zero signifies an amount which is less than 5,000 lbs. In Custom Reports you can get the exact weight if you run a report for a single commodity and then refine your search, change the "volume in lbs" to 1 and rerun the query.

Shipping point refers to an area (district or location) where a commodity is produced (or port through which it is imported) and from which the commodity is first shipped, whereas terminal or wholesale market refers to a physical location from which a commodity is distributed for local sales.
