To know more about French indices of agricultural prices
The index of producer prices for agricultural products (IPPAP) measures the changes in products prices when they are put on the market for the first time. It is published in base and reference 100 in 2015
The weight-coefficients of fresh fruits and vegetables change every month so that they reflect their very seasonal pattern. As a result their variations must only be interpreted year-over-year.
If needed, indices are seasonally adjusted.
The methodology can be found via the link hereafter: https://www.insee.fr/en/statistiques/documentation/Ipa_m_EN.pdf and for fresh vegetables and fruits in Agreste - Chiffres et Données - n° 165 - February 2005.
The index of purchase prices of the means of agricultural production (IPAMPA) reflects the variations of goods and services used in the agricultural process. It is not seasonaly adjusted.
