388 monthly price series from Switzerland are now live on the platform, sourced from Agrarmarktdaten, a new Swiss public data source covering Grains & Feed, Dairy, Eggs, and Fruits & Vegetables. This release includes 270 entirely new products.

What's new:

• 388 monthly price series across four commodity categories

• 270 newly created products not previously available on the platform

• Coverage sourced from Agrarmarktdaten, a Swiss public data provider

Why this matters: Swiss agricultural markets are often unique compared to surrounding countries. A dedicated data source for that region is essential for food manufacturers and retailers in Switzerland. This expansion gives you Swiss-specific benchmarks to compare alongside European and global prices, whether you're sourcing from Switzerland, selling into the market, or building cost models that reflect local conditions.

How to Use It:

• Track Swiss prices in the Prices Widget

• Compare against other European benchmarks in Price Comparison

• Incorporate into Cost Models for Swiss-sourced ingredients

Over 2,000 Fish & Seafood price series are now available on the Vesper platform through an integration with Undercurrent, a specialist seafood data provider.

What's new:

• 2,000+ price series across 15 product groups within Fish & Seafood

• Global and regional coverage from a specialist seafood data provider

• Data accessible through your existing Vesper dashboards

Important: Bring Your Own License Undercurrent data requires an active Undercurrent subscription. If you already subscribe to Undercurrent, contact your Customer Success Manager to activate access within Vesper. This model lets you view your Undercurrent data alongside all your other commodity benchmarks in one platform.

Why this matters: Seafood markets are among the most fragmented and volatile in food commodities. Prices vary by species, origin, catch method, and season. That makes it difficult to track costs or compare supplier quotes with any confidence. With Undercurrent data in Vesper, teams across procurement, finance, and category management can check quotes, compare prices, and track trends for fish and seafood. All in the same workflow you use for other commodities.

How to access? Contact your Customer Success Manager at [email protected] to activate Undercurrent data on your account.

Vesper has expanded its proprietary specialty dairy protein coverage with two new Vesper Price Index (VPI) benchmarks: WPC80 Regular US and WPC80 Regular EU. Published every Wednesday, these benchmarks provide independent, region-specific price visibility, allowing procurement teams to track actual market spreads rather than relying on fixed premium assumptions or generic proxies.

What's New:

• Weekly Regional Benchmarks: Prices for WPC80 Regular in the US and EU, published every Wednesday.

• Verified Market Input: Prices derived from verified active market participants—both buyers and sellers—so you see where trade is actually getting done.

• Deep Specialty Coverage: Strengthens Vesper’s unique position in specialty proteins, joining our existing benchmarks for WPC80 Instant, MPCs, WPI, Caseinates, and other niche protein products.

Why It Matters:

Relying on "80 Instant" for "Regular" WPC80 can hide the actual cost. These new Vesper benchmarks provide the independent reference needed to verify quotes against actual market prices. By establishing a shared view of the market, buyers and sellers can align on price faster, ensuring fair trade and reducing the time spent negotiating over data sources.

How to Use It:

• Prices Widget: Bookmark the US and EU prices for one-click access to the latest Wednesday publication.

• Price Comparison: Compare the new WPC80 Regular prices to the Instant variant and use the Spread function to instantly visualize correlations, spot patterns, and track how the price gap evolves over time.

• Cost Models: Select these new benchmarks as ingredients in your Cost Models to see product costs with WPC80 Regular as an ingredient.

How to access?

These benchmarks are live for all Vesper users with access to the Dairy module. Contact your customer success manager at [email protected] for help integrating these new indices into your dashboard.

Summary: Vesper has strengthened its dairy portfolio with a new weekly Vesper Price Index (VPI) benchmark for Cheddar Curd (CIF Southeast Asia). This proprietary benchmark fills a critical gap in regional cheese trade visibility, especially for Oceania-origin products moving into key Asian markets.

What's New:

• Exclusive weekly VPI price benchmark for Cheddar Curd with CIF Southeast Asia delivery basis

• First reliable price reference in a region lacking formal cheese futures markets
