IGC Launches Daily Grains and Oilseeds Index

Developed to monitor global price trends in key ag markets.

The International Grain Council (IGC) has introduced a new daily Grains and Oilseeds Index (IGC GOI) to help with the monitoring of price trends in key global ag markets. The index follows the day-to-day changes for wheat, corn, barley, sorghum, rice, soybeans and canola. The index is calculated using 22 U.S. dollar-denominated daily export quotations at leading origins.

A link to the index is available on IGC’s home page.
