Live Energy Market Update: Shaping Food & Beverage Procurement Costs
Energy markets are increasingly shaping food and beverage procurement costs far beyond the price of crude oil. Prices of refined fuels, natural gas/power, and fertilizers are directly and indirectly adding to delivered input costs.
In our Energy Market Update webinar on September 23, 2026, we will examine the key forces driving U.S. and global energy markets, including geopolitical risk, refined product tightness, natural gas and power demand, biofuel policy, and transportation costs, with a focus on how these trends are affecting agricultural commodities, manufacturing expenses, freight, and procurement strategy.
