Platts renames FOB CVB wheat and corn assessment

Platts, part of S&P Global Commodity Insights, has renamed its FOB CVB basis Constanta corn assessment and FOB CVB basis Constanta wheat assessments effective Oct. 14, 2024.

For greater clarity on basis location, the assessments have been renamed as follows:

Wheat FOB CVB basis Constanta (12.5%) to Wheat FOB CVB (12.5%), ACVBA00

Wheat FOB CVB basis Constanta (11.5%) to Wheat FOB CVB (11.5%), ACVBB00

Corn FOB CVB basis Constanta to Corn FOB CVB, ACVBC00

Platts understands that market participants do not differentiate between the three individual ports (Constanta, Varna, Burgas) when transacting Handysize vessels on a FOB CVB basis.

Platts proposed this change on Sept. 2 in a subscriber note available here .

Following a feedback period, the decision to rename the assessments was published on Sept. 17 in a separate subscriber note available here
