Soybeans The Paranagua paper market has been depreciating. May traded at +5 SK in March, and it has since dropped to -58 SK. That is an incredible drop in a month. Because the paper market has no load rate guarantee, the spread between cargo and paper is a calculation of the waiting time at Paranagua and the demurrage costs of loading a Panamax at ports. The spread used to be at 25 cents over paper for a Panamax loading in Paranagua; however, with the 60-day waiting time at the port, the spread increased to 35-40 cents over paper. Northern ports like Santos and Tubarao have a premium over Paranagua for better quality and a shorter waiting time. Those premiums typically are around 30 cents. They are currently at 50 cents over paper.Local...

Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
