Piazza di Piacenza and its trading chamber belong to the local reference-market system of Camera di Commercio dell’Emilia. They provide a point of reference for agricultural trade and price publication, rather than a futures exchange or a single delivery warehouse. The chamber's Piacenza office is at Piazza Cavalli 35, telephone +39 0523 3861. This is an administrative contact address. The physical collection or delivery location for goods must be agreed with the actual counterparty.
Published coverage includes cereals, dairy products, hay and feed, flour, wine, grapes and selected vegetables. Frequency varies by category, with some observations seasonal. Buyers need to check the crop year, variety, quality parameters and delivery basis as well as the product name. Grain comparisons may depend on moisture and processing characteristics, while cheese comparisons require attention to maturity. A broad category name alone does not make two quotations equivalent, particularly when reports use different units or describe a different stage of the supply chain.
These are statistics for one quoted item, not measures of the institution's total turnover. An unverified annual trading volume remains unavailable; it has not been replaced with the value of agricultural trade across the entire province.
Sellers can use the lists to prepare offers and discuss a pricing formula, but they still need to identify a real buyer. A contract should name the exact publication, category, reference date and procedure if a quotation is missing. It should also specify whether settlement uses the minimum, maximum or another agreed value. Transport, quality adjustments, packaging and payment timing require separate agreement where the adopted specification does not settle them. The usefulness of a benchmark depends on both parties applying the same definition consistently.
The official portal provides category and date selection and reported price ranges. The notation n.q. means unquoted, not a zero price. Users monitoring the market should keep dated copies and check whether item descriptions change between crop seasons. A published list does not establish the availability of a consignment, prove that a particular transaction occurred or guarantee settlement between buyer and seller. Its practical value is a documented negotiating reference with a clearly stated product and observation date.
