The Impact:

The region of Europe, the Middle East and Africa includes many of the world's most important grain exporters and importers.

As Editor, you will be responsible for daily price assessments that serve as a reference point for buyers and sellers across the region. By driving the adoption of these assessments, you will make it easier for all the participants in this market to operate at a time of high price volatility.
