The Tropical Commodity Research Panel™
Our Tropical Commodity Research Panel (TCRP) is designed to generate novel research and predictive analyses for five different crops across the tropics. To perform this research, our extensive network of agricultural experts provide weekly agronomic indication data for their crop of specialization, along with qualitative data describing current influences that will affect their region's total yield for the upcoming or current harvest.
Our TCRP-based research packages are compiled weekly for different institutions and for different uses:
Tier 1 - Weekly High-Level Qualitative Report
Target Demographics

Utility
The Tier 1 report is a quick read that provides researchers, lecturers, and traders with an easy-to-digest weekly overview of current conditions in these 16 countries.
Features
The Tier 1 report provides a broad, comprehensive overview of agronomic, economic, and rural conditions across 16 developing countries.
