Product Description
Organic Prices
Delivered first handler prices of organic grains and oilseeds. The Mercaris organic cash grain prices represent a weekly average price for a specified commodity in a particular region. Every single contract that Mercaris uses to build price series data represents the physical delivery of a commodity. If Mercaris publishes a price, it comprises completed trades between two parties, rather than bids or offers simply put out into the marketplace.
US Organic Grain Imports
FOB origin and delivered U.S. prices, volumes, freight and country-of-origin statistics. Used to understand where organic grain is coming from, how much is being imported, and what the delivered price is. Provides a view into current domestic U.S. Imports landscape for organic corn, organic durum wheat, organic oats, organic barley and organic soybeans.
Non-GMO Premiums
Average premium value of delivered non-GMO crops over comparable conventional crops delivered within a 20-mile radius of the declared point of delivery. For meals and oils, it's an FOB-crushing plant price.
Midwest Organic Corn Index
Provides a synthetic market clearing price. The Index is a weekly indicator of what organic feed grade yellow corn delivered to a Midwest (seven states defined as MN, IA, NE, WI, IN, IL, MI) elevator looks like where there isn’t a robust level of market transparency and transactional volume.
