USDA recently updated its Market News Portal with the capability to access weekly advertised retail information. With these new options, Market News customers can search, view, and download current and historical retail data on beef, lamb, veal, pork, chicken, turkey, eggs, and an expanded group of fruits, and vegetables.
Reports can also be customized to meet the user’s individual preferences, and saved in various formats. These enhancements allow the user to gather current and historical analysis, and make direct comparisons to other market levels, through the use of graphs and charts.
Previously, retail information was available only in individual text and static PDF reports, making historical searches and data analysis difficult.
