Current Limitations
- FDA data reflects enforcement actions, not current border status — verify with US Customs before making sourcing decisions.
- NASS data is reported with a lag of 1–2 weeks; harvest percentages are estimates until final numbers are published.
- FAS reports are qualitative assessments from foreign agricultural attachés — useful signal, not yield guarantees.
- Trade flow data (BICO) updates monthly and may not reflect recent logistical disruptions.
- Commodity matching is keyword-based; some alerts may be mis-categorized until the mapping is refined.
