The Diapason Commodities Index Agriculture Segment consists of the 24 agricultural components of the Diapason Commodities Index® and encompasses a range of contracts representing such underlying raw resources as wheat, cotton, corn

In a significant advance, the index not only includes such traditional US contracts as wheat and corn, but also lists both US and European versions of sugar and coffee in acknowledgement of the genuine segmentation of the physical market for these staples.

Additionally, the US soy contracts (which have no restrictions upon genetically-modified strains) have been supplemented – for the first time – with the Tokyo non-GM soy contract, the better to reflect global consumer preferences in this important area.
