Fish & Seafood Prices via Undercurrent Partnership

New
Data
Partnerships
Fish & Seafood

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.

Australian Red Meat Market Report

New
Market Analysis
Meat & Poultry

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.
