Summary: Vesper has expanded its oils & fats coverage with a new weekly Vesper Price Index (VPI) benchmark for Crude Shea Butter (FOB Tema) from Ghana. This proprietary benchmark, exclusive to Vesper, provides a reliable, independent price reference for an increasingly strategic commodity in food manufacturing.
What's New:
Weekly VPI price benchmark for Crude Shea Butter
FOB Tema delivery basis from Ghana—the world's largest shea butter exporting country
Full integration with existing oils & fats dashboards and pricing tools
Why It Matters: As cocoa prices continue to surge, we've seen increased demand from our user base for alternatives like Shea Butter, which has emerged as a critical cost-effective substitute for cocoa butter. This exclusive VPI benchmark responds directly to user feedback, delivering essential price transparency for those seeking different compositions to limit the effects of cocoa volatility on end product applications. Having Vesper's independent benchmark helps verify supplier pricing and supports more confident negotiations during this period of volatility in cocoa markets.

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
Import/export widgets mapping supply and demand in trade flows
Price spread tool for cross-regional analysis

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
