We’re excited to share a few important updates we made to the Market Monitor this week, based on your feedback and our ongoing efforts to enhance usability and insight delivery.
1. Refined Units for Better Clarity
To improve the readability of volume metrics across the dashboard, we’ve updated the filtering options from ‘kg’ and ‘lbs’ to ‘kTon’ (thousand tons) and ‘MM lbs’ (million pounds).
This change was directly inspired by user feedback, and we hope it makes interpreting and comparing figures much more intuitive.
2. New: Regional Sufficiency Page
We’ve added a Regional Sufficiency page under the Supply Dynamics section. This new feature provides a clear comparison between regional consumption and production capacity, making it easy to assess how self-sufficient a region is.
As local-for-local production gains momentum—especially in emerging regions like Asia—it’s increasingly important to monitor these shifts. This view also helps exporting regions understand how demand patterns and supply needs are evolving globally.
Whether you're evaluating supply gaps or assessing strategic investment opportunities, this page offers valuable insights to support your decisions.
3. Cleaned-Up Supplier Data
To ensure the data tables remain streamlined and actionable, we’ve removed entries labeled as “unknown” from the supplier-trade relationship tables.
This adjustment helps maintain focus on verified and relevant data, reducing noise and improving the quality of your insights.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on these changes! If you have any questions, feedback, or additional suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your input plays a crucial role in shaping the platform to better meet your needs.
