The feedstock market brief: offered prices, not assessments

Price reports assess what a market might be worth. This brief reports what actually arrived: the offers and specification requests a working feedstock desk receives every day — counted, ranged and dated. Anonymous by construction. Written from the same desk that runs importrules.com.

In September 2026 this desk received around a hundred inbound offers and specification requests per day, from more than ten distinct counterparties daily — measured by our own pipeline, not estimated. That stream is the raw material of this brief.

What each monthly edition holds

Per feedstream

  • Number of offers and requests received in the month
  • The price range actually offered, in EUR/tonne, as offered (FOB/CIF stated)
  • Volumes offered, and buy versus sell side
  • Movement against the previous edition
Waste-based oils and fats, woody biomass, agricultural residues; the streams this desk trades.

The anonymity rule

  • No counterparty is ever named — not in the numbers, not in the notes
  • A price range appears only when at least three separate offers underlie it
  • Thin months show the count, not an invented range
  • Method, period and count stand on every line
A broker lives from its counterparties' trust; this brief cannot spend it.

The desk note

  • One page of what the numbers mean this month
  • What changed in the rules around these streams (EUDR, waste shipment, CBAM) — dated, like the guide
  • What the desk itself is watching for next month
Market information, not investment advice; it says so on every edition.

Common questions

How anonymous is it, really?
By construction. The numbers are aggregates over the desk's inbound stream; a range only appears when at least three separate offers underlie it, and no note in the brief identifies a counterparty, directly or by puzzle. The desk's own deals stay out of it.
How do I know the numbers are real?
Every line carries its count and its period, and the method is stated in each edition: offers as received, extracted by a pipeline that may only book what is literally in the message, counted by machine. The same discipline as every number on importrules.com.
Can I see a sample first?
Yes — choose "a sample edition first" in the form and you receive the most recent edition as it went out. The numbers in it are real and from a closed period; the sample is the product.
Is this investment or trading advice?
No. It is market information: what was offered, when, in what range. What you do with it is your decision. The brief says this on every edition, because a report that lets itself be read as advice will be read as advice.
What if a month is thin?
Then you see that it is thin. Below three offers for a stream, the edition shows the count and says so, instead of printing a range that pretends to be a market. A brief you have to distrust once is not worth €29 a month.
