137 articles tracking export news, global trade updates and commodity market trends across food, oils, grains and metals.

Each update ties commodity market trends to the numbers that decide a deal — FOB and CIF price direction, ocean freight and reefer rates, container availability, port congestion and demurrage risk.
Alongside price and trade updates you will find practical export guidance: HS codes and tariff headings, inspection and certificate requirements, Incoterms choices, and trade finance instruments such as L/C, SBLC and T/T (MT103). Use the market trends to time your purchase, then request a quotation or check transit times to your port.
