How Argus assesses agricultural markets

  • Market-reflective methodology
    Methodologies reflect how agricultural markets trade, aligned to standard volumes, locations, currencies and delivery terms.

  • Broad market participant input
    Reporters engage producers, consumers and intermediaries to gather market data from a cross-section of credible sources.

  • Transparent data hierarchy
    Transactions take priority over bids and offers, ensuring assessments reflect the most reliable indicators of market value.

  • Rigorous data verification
    Reporters verify price, volume, specifications and counterparty for each transaction submitted to the assessment process.

  • Judgement-based assessment
    Where transactions are limited, reporters assess value using bids, offers, tenders and supply and demand fundamentals.
