Episode 23 — October 2026 Market Update
Tree spices are perennial crops, so the damage from a disrupted season does not show up straight away — it shows up around 18 months later, when buyers are working to a different plan.
Contract forward for Q4 2026 and Q1 2027. With supply issues in Madagascar, spot supply will be thin.
Extend coverage horizons, and buy whole over pre-ground.
Track the grade mix, not just the price. Dry conditions make peeling harder, and grades slip.
