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.
