Import/Export Price Indexes

Impact of the Temporary Lapse in Government Spending
The temporary lapse in government appropriations impacted some of the prices collected by the International Price Program in January. Farm Services Data published monthly by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and used to calculate export price indexes were not available for soybeans, corn, wheat, sorghum, and barley. The prices for those products were estimated using price data from another USDA survey produced by the Agricultural Market Service. The related detailed price indexes for January thus do not meet the International Price Program criteria for publication. The estimates do not impact the accuracy of the price indexes at broader product categories.
The following detailed product category indexes are solely or mostly derived from estimated prices and are not published in January. The indexes for export grains resumed publication with the February indexes released on March 14, 2019.
