Mintec proposes to discontinue Cocoa powder exw NL (COPF) assessment

All Market Notes 11 February 2021

Mintec proposes to discontinue the Cocoa powder exw NL (COPF) Mintec Benchmark Price, effective 14 April, and invites feedback to this proposal until 26 February.

The current COPF series is nearly identical in specification to the existing Mintec Benchmark Price for  Cocoa powder exw W Eur (MBP) (COPL), with differences in price being largely due to exchange rate fluctuations.

Publishing one series instead of two identical series would result in a more streamlined and user-friendly experience.

For comparison here are the series names, codes and specification details for the series proposed to be discontinued and the series suggested as an alternative:
