USDA figures are wholesale/bulk commodity prices (Wed Jan 29–Fri Mar 28); community figures are retail listings (small jars raise $/lb), so the spread reflects pack size + retail markup. Full USDA historical series (2019→, trends & seasonality & forecasting) is ingested as report archives become available.
