All Market Notes 15 September 2023

Following a period of market feedback, Mintec has decided to launch five monthly Mintec Benchmark Prices (MBP) for Serbian IQF raspberries and one IQF blackberry (MBP). The publication of the new assessments will start from Friday 29th September 2023.

The specifications for these assessments will be as below:    

The assessments will reflect the transactable value at 16:00:00 London time.

Serbia is a major exporter of IQF berries supplying volumes into both the US & Europe. The assessments will provide Mintec subscribers an independent benchmark for Serbian IQF berries in what is traditionally a very opaque market. Mintec’s offering of reliable and transparent pricing for this market will have a significant, positive impact on market transparency.
