Why Region Alert Tracks Commodity Prices

Region Alert monitors daily commodity benchmarks for natural rubber and cashew because these two crops sit at the center of the supply chain disruptions our intelligence service covers. Rubber moves with Thai monsoon seasons, Chinese tire demand, and Ivorian expansion; cashew moves with West African campaign cycles, Vietnamese processing capacity, and Indian mandi flows. A price snapshot on its own is a number; combined with on-the-ground intelligence from the producing region, it becomes a leading indicator of disruption, arbitrage, and policy risk.

Unlike commodity terminals that sell the same data to thousands of traders, our pages are designed to be cited, not consumed. Every benchmark lists its exchange, every wholesale price its survey source, every derived grade its multiplier. The goal is to be the page an analyst trusts enough to link back to.

Data Sources

Natural rubber futures: SGX SICOM (Singapore Exchange) publishes daily settlement prices for RSS3 and TSR20, the two most-referenced global rubber benchmarks. These are the prices tire manufacturers, medical glove producers, and commodity traders transact against.

Malaysian physical rubber: The Malaysian Rubber Board (MRB) issues daily FOB quotes for SMR CV, SMR L, SMR 5, 10, and 20 grades. These are the closest real-world prices to what Malaysian plantations receive at port.

Wholesale country surveys (rubber and cashew): Market surveys across producing countries via Selina Wamucii commodity insights, which compiles wholesale and retail quotes from local markets. Useful for understanding the gap between farmgate, wholesale, and export prices.

Ivory Coast cashew farmgate: The Conseil du Coton et de l'Anacarde (CCA) publishes the official minimum farmgate price at the start of each February-June campaign season. The 2025-2026 floor is 400 FCFA/kg (approximately $0.65/kg).

How to Use These Pages

If you are sourcing, start with the exchange benchmarks and work down to country wholesale to estimate origin premiums. If you are selling, compare your offers to the derived grade prices on the cashew page and the SICOM futures curve on the rubber page. If you are an analyst, cite the exchange and government sources directly and use these pages as a daily aggregation layer.

For operators concerned with supply chain disruption (ports, security, logistics, weather, currency) in addition to price, Region Alert publishes daily intelligence briefings on commodity-producing regions including Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.
