This is the CommodityScope series definition for the published midpoint and assessment range. Characteristics that are not part of this basis are not inferred.
- Product

- Product quality
- Product as labelled by the series name and location basis. CommodityScope does not infer a fuller chemical or contractual specification.

Specification · stated in the assessment basis
- 48% protein, from the series name.
Basis: FOB NOLA
- FOB (free on board): the price covers the product loaded on the vessel at the named origin; sea freight and insurance to the destination are excluded, so FOB values from different loading areas are not delivered-cost equivalents.
- NOLA is New Orleans, Louisiana; a NOLA barge basis refers to product on river barges at the Mississippi mouth, priced in USD per short ton.
Unit: USD/mt
- All grain and feed series are USD per metric tonne on the stated port basis.
- Weekly assessments: the change shown is between two weekly readings, never a daily move.
