Limits. EU cash prices are the weekly representative prices that member states report to the European Commission (agri-food data portal); some markets report late or skip weeks, and stages differ (delivered port, ex-farm, ex-store), so compare a market with itself over time rather than markets with each other. They are published with a delay of about a week and are not a trading feed. Futures quotes are on the exchanges' sites.
