Platts proposes to align Argentine Corn and Soybean Meal assessments publication with the Brazilian holiday calendar
Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, is proposing to align the publication of its Argentine Corn and Soybean Meal assessments with only the Brazilian holiday schedule, effective Aug. 1, 2025.
The assessments currently follow both the Argentine and Brazilian holiday calendars.
Beginning Aug. 1, 2025, no Argentine Corn and Soybean Meal assessments would be published on national Brazilian holidays, or days on which those holidays are observed.
The full Platts holiday publishing schedule can be viewed here: Holiday Publication Schedule | S&P Global.
Platts Argentine Corn and Soybean Meal assessments are published in Daily Grains, Protein Daily and on fixed page PAA0001.
The following symbols would be impacted by this proposed change:
| Description | Symbol | Monthly Average |
| Soybean Meal Argentina FOB Up River | SYMAA00 | SYMAA03 |
| Soybean Meal Argentina FOB Up River basis | SYMAB00 | SYMAB03 |
| Argentina Corn FOB Up River | ARGCA00 | ARGCA03 |
| Argentina Corn FOB Up River Basis | ARGCB00 | ARGCB03 |
| Corn FOB Argentina Panamax | CARGA00 | CARGA03 |
| Corn FOB Argentina Panamax Basis | CARGB00 | CARGB03 |
| Corn FOB Argentina Panamax Differential to Argentina Up-River Weekly | CARGC00 |
