SUBSCRIBER NOTE: Platts to launch new EU country-specific sugar assessments

On Friday, July 1, S&P Global Platts will launch a series of weekly white sugar assessments reflecting the delivered value in various countries in the European Union, including the UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Belgium, Northern Italy, Southern Italy, Spain and Greece.

Platts will publish the new assessments in Kingsman EU Sugar Market Report, on Platts Agriculture Alert and in Platts Market Data, alongside the existing regional, Western and Mediterranean delivered spot price delivered campaign series, in Eur/mt.

The country-specific delivered assessments will be supported by the same methodology currently used for the regional assessments, and will be considered in the range of data used for assessment purposes of the existing regional assessments.
