Barchart, Grão Direto partner to globally redistribute proprietary data from Grainsights
Digital grain trading platform Grão Direto and Barchart, a global provider of data, intelligence and trading solutions for commodity and financial markets, announced a partnership to globally redistribute proprietary data from Grainsights, Grão Direto’s market intelligence platform.
The initiative marks a significant step forward in expanding international visibility into price formation in Brazil’s physical grain and oilseed market.
Through the partnership, data sets and price curves derived from thousands of daily interactions, price consultations, and transactions occurring on Grão Direto’s platform — and structured through Grainsights — will be made available in cmdtyView, Barchart’s trading and analytics platform for global commodity markets.
Barchart will also act as a key partner in API distribution and data licensing, as part of its best-in-class global grain pricing offering. This will enable international market participants to access consolidated insights into pricing dynamics in Brazil’s physical grain market, complementing existing references used in global grain trade.
“This partnership expands Barchart’s coverage of the Brazilian agricultural market — one of the most relevant regions for global soybean and corn trade — and reinforces our commitment to delivering increasingly comprehensive and relevant data to participants in the global commodities markets,” said Fernando Berardo, Head of Commodities – Latin America at Barchart.
Among the datasets being redistributed are:
- Regional prices for Brazil’s physical soybean and corn markets
- More than 120 local price assessments, covering multiple producing regions across the country’s interior
- Proprietary export benchmark indices, including the FOB Santos Soybean Index and FOB Rio Grande Soybean Index, developed in accordance with IOSCO benchmark principles.
With this, Barchart clients gain access to an expanded set of local Brazilian price references, within cmdtyView or via API, enabling more accurate analysis of regional arbitrage opportunities, export competitiveness, and commercialization trends in one of the world’s most important agricultural markets.
For Frederico Marques, CTO of Grão Direto, the agreement represents an important milestone in the internationalization of the platform’s data.
“By expanding access to this information, Grainsights strengthens its position as a trusted source of grain market data in Brazil, contributing to greater transparency across the sector and enabling more efficient trading decisions throughout the agricultural value chain,” said Marques.
