Our team of Senior Analysts report pricing on BFT, CWG, UCO, DCO, Poultry Fat, Tech Tallow, Edible Tallow and Lard from multiple key regions within the United States. In addition to the emphasis on American Fats, our team releases a weekly International Animal Fats bulletin every Thursday to complete a macro view of the fats and oils market.
For those interested in price forecasting in these markets, we recommend looking at our Fats & Oils Forecast which looks at supply and demand curves as well as pricing changes 3 to 6 months out.
