Organic Commodity Market Intelligence

Organic corn prices strengthened significantly with Midwest forward contracts up $0.40 to $10.07/bushel and Northeast premiums reaching $12.75/bushel due to regional supply constraints and steady feed mill demand despite avian flu pressures. Organic soybean markets face critical supply shortages with zero USDA-reported transactions, forcing domestic crush operations below capacity with negative margins while Brazilian imports face container delays pushing deliveries from March-April into May. Current organic corn spot prices trade at a $1.02/bushel premium over forward contracts ($10.38 vs $9.
