Data notes

These are monthly commodity reference averages from the World Bank Pink Sheet. They are not intraday prices, exchange closing quotes or executable offers. Cocoa, coffee, sugar, cotton, tea, fresh oranges and natural rubber use different benchmark specifications.

Original values use nominal US dollars per kilogram. Pound and metric tonne displays are mathematical conversions by FOLITIC. Fresh oranges represent fruit, not orange juice futures.

MoM and YoY changes are calculated by FOLITIC from the corresponding calendar month. Missing comparisons remain unavailable. The history shows up to 61 monthly observations. Price series may be revised.

Reference month identifies the period averaged. Publication identifies the workbook release. Refreshing the page does not change those dates. Observations older than 75 days are flagged and excluded from price calculators. Observations older than 150 days are hidden.

Up to five published Softs articles appear automatically from Commodity News & Analysis.
