Summary: Vesper has launched Cost Models, a powerful new feature that transforms individual commodity benchmarks into complete product cost insights. This capability allows food manufacturers to combine weighted commodity benchmarks with standardized non-ingredient costs to build accurate product pricing models, delivering unprecedented visibility into true product economics.
What's New:
Build complete product cost models by combining multiple commodity benchmarks with precise weightings
Access industry-standard non-ingredient costs (labor, manufacturing, overhead) specific to your region
Choose from our template library for common food products or create custom models
Track how each component contributes to your total product cost with automatic updates whenever source prices change
Why It Matters: With record-high volatility across food commodities, understanding how ingredient changes impact finished products is critical for maintaining margins. Cost Models provide complete cost structure visibility for your entire organization: procurement teams can verify supplier price increases, finance can track margin impacts across product portfolios, and sales teams can justify price adjustments to customers with independently verified data. Non-ingredient costs can represent up to 47% of total product costs—a critical component that's now visible alongside your commodity benchmarks.
How to Use It:
Access Cost Models through the main dashboard menu
Choose between starting with a template or building a model from scratch
Select ingredients from your available commodities and assign precise weightings
Add country-specific non-ingredient costs by selecting your industry and location
Save your model to track cost evolution over time as prices update automatically
Related Features: Cost Models integrates seamlessly with Vesper's existing capabilities:
Individual commodity price benchmarks (VPI, Partner prices, and Public benchmarks found in prices widgets)
Incorporate into your own custom dashboards

Summary: Vesper has expanded its news coverage with two dedicated categories: Vegetables & Pulses and Fruits.

What's New:
Dedicated news category for Vegetables & Pulses
Dedicated news category for Fruits
Comprehensive coverage of global fresh produce markets
Integration with existing news filtering and alert capabilities
Why It Matters: Fresh produce represents critical input markets for many of our core users. These new categories significantly deepen our current coverage, which has primarily focused on price benchmarks until now.

This expanded coverage provides essential visibility into volatile produce markets, helping users anticipate supply disruptions, track pricing pressures, and identify emerging trends. This expansion responds directly to user feedback requesting more comprehensive coverage across the complete ingredient spectrum.

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:
Find the new Cheddar Curd (CIF SEA) benchmark in the pricing widgets
Add it to price widgets to analyze spread between origin and destination markets
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
