Expana to change the monthly assessment schedule for some of its Plant-Based Protein EBP

February 16, 2025

Following a period of market feedback, Expana has decided to change the assessment schedule for some of its US-based Plant-Based Protein Expana Benchmark Prices (EBP) from Friday, March 28th, 2025, onwards.

The changes are as follows:

  • The monthly US-based Plant-Based Protein EBP will be assessed on the last business day of every month at 16:00 US Eastern Standard Time.

The schedule change will bring the assessment in line with the region they are assessed in. Full details of our methodology, including the public holidays observed in the Americas, can be found in the Expana Assessment Methodology Guide available here.
