Shea Butter Crude VPI Benchmark

by Vesper Team
New
Oils & Fats
Chocolate, Confectionery & Ice Cream
Data
Vesper Price Index (VPI)

Summary: Vesper has expanded its oils & fats coverage with a new weekly Vesper Price Index (VPI) benchmark for Crude Shea Butter (FOB Tema) from Ghana. This proprietary benchmark, exclusive to Vesper, provides a reliable, independent price reference for an increasingly strategic commodity in food manufacturing.

What's New:

  • Weekly VPI price benchmark for Crude Shea Butter

  • FOB Tema delivery basis from Ghana—the world's largest shea butter exporting country

  • Full integration with existing oils & fats dashboards and pricing tools

Why It Matters: As cocoa prices continue to surge, we've seen increased demand from our user base for alternatives like Shea Butter, which has emerged as a critical cost-effective substitute for cocoa butter. This exclusive VPI benchmark responds directly to user feedback, delivering essential price transparency for those seeking different compositions to limit the effects of cocoa volatility on end product applications. Having Vesper's independent benchmark helps verify supplier pricing and supports more confident negotiations during this period of volatility in cocoa markets.

How to Use It:

  1. Find the new Shea Butter (Crude) benchmark in the pricing widgets section

  2. Add it to the price comparison widget for side-by-side analysis with cocoa butter prices

  3. Incorporate this benchmark into your custom cost models to evaluate how chocolate formulation costs change when substituting with shea butter

  4. Monitor weekly updates to identify emerging trends and optimize buying decisions

Related Features: This benchmark complements Vesper's existing offerings:

  • Cocoa butter price benchmarks

  • Vegetable oil price benchmarks

  • Cost modeling for ingredient substitution analysis

Cheddar Curd VPI (CIF SEA) Benchmark

by Vesper Team
New
Dairy
Vesper Price Index (VPI)
Data

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

  • Full integration with existing dairy dashboards and pricing tools

Why It Matters: With no futures market for cheese in the APAC, market participants have struggled to benchmark pricing or implement effective hedging strategies. This exclusive VPI benchmark provides essential price transparency in a market where Oceania exports a significant share of its cheddar production to Asian buyers. By introducing this reference point, we're responding to the need for reliable pricing data in markets lacking formal pricing infrastructure.

How to Use It:

  1. Find the new Cheddar Curd (CIF SEA) benchmark in the pricing widgets

  2. Add it to price widgets to analyze spread between origin and destination markets

  3. Track weekly updates to identify emerging trends in regional dairy trade flows

Related Features: This benchmark complements Vesper's existing offerings:

  • Global and regional cheese price benchmarks

  • Import/export widgets mapping supply and demand in trade flows

  • Price spread tool for cross-regional analysis

Improvement
Data

Enhanced S&D Map visualization now provides Year-to-Date (YTD) comparisons across regions, enabling instant visual insights into global production, import/export, and stock trends and regional shifts.

Why it Matters:"If I were interested to see where growth in EU milk production is happening, this would really quickly show me that it is not happening in Ireland, Netherlands or France. It's great for presentations, as not having to click through all countries at the same time makes it ideal for regions or groups of countries."

Jasper Endlich, Dairy Market Analyst

How to Use It:

  1. Find the World Map Widget in the S&D category

  2. Select your metric and timeframe of interest

  3. Compare countries and spot regional trends through color coding

  4. Export directly into presentations or add to your custom dashboards
