Platts proposes amendments to EU Pork Marker and Pork Belly CFR North Asia assessments, Aug. 3

Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, proposes to amend the timing window for its EU Pork Marker (symbol codes: EUPMK00, EUPMK03, EUPML00, EUPML03) and Pork Belly CFR North Asia (GPSEB00, GSEB03) price assessments, effective Aug. 3.

The proposed change aligns with market feedback to reflect standard market trade specifications. The timing window would be amended from 60 to 90 days, from the date of publication to 30 to 60 days.

Platts would also like to propose some minor adjustments to both assessments - without affecting the pricing methodology - to enhance transparency and clarity for the market, as follows:

  • Name: From "Pork Belly CFR North Asia" to " Pork Belly (Single-ribbed) CFR North Asia " ;
  • Quality: From "Frozen pork belly, boneless and skinless" to "frozen pork belly, skinless and sheet-ribbed " for the EU Pork Marker;
  • Quantity: From " Min one 40-foot refrigerated container of 25 metric tons to 27 mt net weight" to " Min one 40-foot refrigerated container of 24 mt to 27 mt net weight " for both assessments.
