LONDON , July 6, 2026
Expana, the world’s leading agrifood focused Price Reporting Agency and market intelligence provider, today announced that Quideos, a French investment firm authorised by the ACPR and supervised by the AMF, is now licensed to offer OTC risk-management services across the full range of Expana Benchmark Prices (EBP). The partnership reflects Expana’s commitment to developing its IOSCO-assured benchmark pricing as a basis for the settlement of financial contracts.
Through this partnership, Quideos enables EBP users to manage price risk directly on the benchmarks they already follow, with financially settled instruments tailored to each client’s indices and volumes.
Marcel Goldenberg, Chief Market Reporting Officer at Expana, said: “Sustained volatility in commodity markets is making business planning increasingly difficult. The service Quideos provides on the basis of our EBP suite delivers essential risk management to the many food and agriculture companies that operate outside listed derivatives markets, and this partnership is a significant step in making that possible.”
Mikaël Delmas, co-founder and CEO of Quideos, commented: “Many food and agriculture businesses are exposed to price swings on commodities with no equivalent on listed exchanges. By combining Expana’s IOSCO-assured benchmarks with our OTC hedging expertise, we can offer EBP users financially settled instruments built directly on the prices they already rely on. As a regulated investment firm, we are proud to bring genuine risk-management tools to markets that have traditionally been underserved by derivatives.”
Together, Expana and Quideos are giving food and agriculture businesses a practical way to manage risk on commodities that listed markets have never served.
