Jatropha oil: Reference value for real market prices

The price indicator states a price for a European offtake market. The indicator consists of a weighted average of Rape oil and Brent Crude oil prices in Rotterdam as key benchmarks for Jatropha oil prices.

For the calculation of the index, mineral oil price are weighed with 20%, the rape oil price with 80%. In total, a 10% discount was assumed on the weighted average since Jatropha is a new product and will therefore probably trade at a discount, initially. The indicator is calculated on a monthy basis.
