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

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:
Find the World Map Widget in the S&D category
Select your metric and timeframe of interest
Compare countries and spot regional trends through color coding
Export directly into presentations or add to your custom dashboards
