The Tropical Commodity Research Panel

The Tropical Commodity Research Panel (TCRP) is designed to generate high-frequency actionable insights and predictive analyses for five different crops across the tropics. To generate this data, our extensive network of agricultural researchers aggregates real-time agronomic indication data for their crop of specialization, along with qualitative intel describing current factors that will influence their region's total yield for the upcoming or current harvest.

Legacy data providers (e.g., CONAB, ICO, ICCO, USDA) and satellite yield models fall short in tracking the real-time drivers of production volatility. We fill this gap in the research market through a structured weekly reporting system that features:

Region-Specific Crop Performance Dashboards
