Commodity Copilot is now accessible from any dashboard through a side panel. Ask questions as you work with your data.

What's new:

• Copilot side panel is available on every dashboard. Open it without leaving your current view.

• See your prices, charts, and reports on the left. Ask Copilot about them on the right.

• Spot something in the data you want to understand? Just ask.

Why this matters:

Before this update, using Copilot meant navigating to a separate page. Now you can look at a price move in your chart and ask what's driving it without losing your place. Data and interpretation, side by side.

How to access?

Open the Copilot side panel using the icon in the top-right of any dashboard, or contact your Customer Success Manager at [email protected].

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

Why this matters: Swiss agricultural markets are often unique compared to surrounding countries.

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

Import/Export, Supply & Demand, and Futures widgets each had multiple versions for different views of the same data. These are now consolidated into a single widget per data type. For example, where you previously had three separate Futures widgets, you now have one that covers all views.

What's new

• Toggle between table and graph views within each widget

• Switch between historical and forward data without leaving the widget

• All controls are built into the widget, so one widget now does the job of several

Your existing widgets have been automatically replaced with the new versions, using the same parameters you had selected. Nothing changes to your dashboards. If you want different views side by side, you can duplicate a widget and set each one to a different view.

Why this matters

Where you previously needed multiple widgets to see the same data in different formats, one widget now covers it. Dashboards stay cleaner, and you spend less time setting up views.

On mobile, the consolidated widgets will follow at a later stage. For now, the previous versions remain available there.

Vesper now includes a monthly market report covering the Australian red meat market, produced by Episode 3 (EP3), an independent, data-driven market analysis service focused on agriculture and food manufacturing.

Australia is one of the world's largest beef and lamb exporters, and this report brings structured analysis of that market directly into the platform.

What's New:

• Two sections: Beef and Lamb, covering export statistics, slaughter ratios, herd size, and processor margins

• Monthly frequency: Updated each month with the latest Australian market data

• Complements existing coverage: Sits alongside the US Meat report for cross-regional comparison

Why It Matters:

Australian beef and lamb prices are a key reference point for anyone sourcing red meat globally. This report adds structured context on supply conditions, processing economics, and trade flows that is difficult to piece together from scattered public sources.

How to access?

The report is available in the Market Analysis section of the platform. Contact your Customer Success Manager at [email protected] if you need help locating it.

Vesper now covers poultry with in-house expert analysis. Our first Poultry Market Analysis report is live in the Market Analysis section.

What's new

• In-house written market report covering global poultry markets

• Global origins covered: Thailand and Brazil

• European origins covered: Poland, Spain, and Ukraine

• Published bi-weekly on Thursdays

• Available in the Market Analysis section alongside Dairy, Oils & Fats, and other category reports

Why this matters

Poultry is a key category for food manufacturers, retailers, and food service buyers, but reliable market analysis has been hard to find. This report gives you the same depth we bring to other categories: price drivers explained, supply context, and forward-looking outlooks.

Whether you're sourcing chicken breast from Brazil or tracking Polish production trends, you now have a consistent, independent view of the market.

Vesper has added 189 USDA meat price series and 1,406 new Supply & Demand series in one update.

What's new:

• 189 daily and weekly USDA Market News meat price series, covering beef, pork, lamb, and poultry across major US markets
• 1,406 new Supply & Demand series sourced from USDA PSD (Production, Supply, and Distribution) and FAO Stat
• S&D series span production, domestic consumption, ending stocks, and trade flows across key exporting and importing countries

Why this matters:

US government meat pricing gives you an independent reference point for benchmarking quotes. The Supply & Demand series add production and trade context behind price moves, so you can see whether a price shift is structural or seasonal.

How to Use It:

• Prices Widget: search for USDA meat price series by product, market, or frequency
• Price Comparison: stack US meat prices against other regional benchmarks
• Supply & Demand widget: access production, consumption, stock, and trade flow data alongside your price charts
• Cost Models: incorporate live US meat prices into your ingredient breakdowns

Vesper has expanded its Meat & Poultry coverage with 249 new price series across three major protein markets: Brazil, Australia, and Thailand. This release adds daily and weekly pricing for beef, poultry, pork, and lamb, strengthening our global protein intelligence for teams sourcing across multiple origins.

What's New:

• Brazil: 52 daily price series for chicken, beef, and pork, including 32 entirely new products.

• MLA (Australia): 112 weekly saleyard prices for cattle (68 series) and sheep (44 series), based on physical auction transactions. All prices stored on a carcass-weight basis.

• Mexmoc (Thailand): 85 weekly price series covering meat, poultry, and related products, including 72 entirely new additions.

Why It Matters: Global protein sourcing requires visibility across multiple origins to compare pricing, validate supplier quotes, and anticipate supply shifts. Brazil, Australia, and Thailand represent critical benchmarks for international meat buyers, yet consistent, structured pricing across these regions has historically been difficult to access in one place. This expansion gives procurement teams the cross-regional view needed to negotiate with confidence and identify cost-saving opportunities.

How to Use It:

• Prices Widget: Bookmark key products (e.g., Brazilian chicken, Australian cattle, Thai pork) for quick access to the latest prices.

• Price Comparison: Compare pricing across origins or protein types to spot arbitrage opportunities or validate regional quotes.

• Cost Models: Add these series as ingredients in your Cost Models to track input costs for prepared foods, food service menus, or retail protein products.

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.
