Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

The organization of the second summit with the theme of “The Rise of the Digital Economy and the New Agenda of Managers” this year is carried out by International Data Corporation (IDC), a market research consultancy on industry opportunities and trends in information technology, telecommunications and consumer technologies in more than 110 countries.

The indices are designed to measure the price performance of a single agricultural product (Barley, Wheat, Corn) or a group of agricultural products (Cereals) using transactions that take place in the TÜRİB Electronic Product Bill (ELÜS) Market.

- TÜRİB Product Indices: Pulse of agriculture, the compass of the farmer and the investor

TÜRİB Agricultural Product Indices are a new indicator that our farmers, producers, food industry and financial sector stakeholders can use in product performance measurements if they want to learn more about the price movements of agricultural products traded on the Commodity Exchange, to be able to predict and analyze price changes more easily.

- Indexed products: barley, wheat, wheat bread, wheat pasta, corn, corn 1^st class, corn 2^nd class and cereal composite index

TÜRİB has the strategic importance and highest liquidity for Turkey in the publication of agricultural product indices wheat (together with the sub-index breakdown of bread and pasta), Corn (1. Class and 2. The class started with the SUB-index breakdown) and the TÜRİB Cereals Index consisting of barley products and these products. Thus, it was possible to use a single indicator value for our investors to track prices and to monitor the relationship between Turkey and the world agricultural commodity markets.

TÜRİB Agricultural Product Indices provide an understandable and transparent view of the current situation of the TÜRİB ELÜS Market. The calculated TÜRİB Agricultural Product Indices are intended to be used in three different ways:

i. Investment Instrument: Investment funds can be converted into different investment instruments such as futures contracts,

ii. Comparison Criteria: To be the criteria for comparing the performance of agricultural products with other investment instruments,

iii. Indicator Tool: An indicator of agricultural economic activity.
