Mintec proposes to launch a Turkish dried apricot assessment

All Market Notes 23 September 2021

Mintec is proposing to launch a weekly Mintec Benchmark Prices assessment for dried apricots, effective 25 October 2021. Mintec is collecting feedback on this proposal from any market participant until Thursday, October 7, 2021.

The proposed assessments would reflect the transactable value at 16:00 London time for the prices of a 20ft container of dried apricots on a per metric ton basis.

This proposed assessment would provide additional information for the Turkish apricot market and provide an independent price benchmark for one of the most traded specifications of dried apricots in the retail packing market.

Please send any feedback on this proposal to Methodology@mintecglobal.com by Thursday 7th October, and clearly state which market note your comments relate to, and if comments are intended for publication by Mintec.

Mintec will acknowledge receipt of all comments by email.
