Start from a specific moment

We can open at 2.84 per unit given current paste cost pressure and uneven harvest yields. If you can commit volume, we can discuss price protection structure.

Thanks for the opening. We can start at 2.64 per unit if volume is there, and we’re open to discussing a price-protection mechanism around that level.

We can work toward a deal at 2.79 per unit, especially with committed volume and a practical price-protection structure. If volume is firm, this keeps us close to market and workable on supply risk.

We’re still below your number, but we can move to 2.67 per unit with firm volume and a workable price-protection framework. That keeps us aligned with current market levels and gives us a path to close.

We can narrow the gap to 2.75 per unit with the firm volume and price-protection structure you outlined. That reflects current input pressure and keeps us moving toward close.

We’re close, but 2.75 is still above where we can land given the current market. If you can do 2.69 per unit, we can keep the volume and price-protection structure intact and move this forward.

We can narrow this to 2.72 per unit and keep the volume and price-protection structure in place. That’s a fair landing point against current input pressure and lets us get this done now.

We’re very close. If you can do 2.70 per unit with the current volume and price-protection structure, we can move this forward.

Agreed at 2.70 per unit with the current volume and price-protection structure. Let’s move to finalizing the paperwork.

We can open at 2.52 based on current market conditions. If you can move quickly, we can keep this level on the table.

Thanks for the offer. We can move quickly at 2.43 if you can confirm price protection on this level.

We can work toward your price-protection ask, but 2.43 is too low given current input pressure. If you can do 2.56, we can keep this moving and discuss protection terms.

We can move up to 2.48 if we also keep discussing workable price protection. That’s a fair step given the current market reference and should keep this moving.

We can move to 2.60. That’s a constructive step and already below the current market reference; if price protection stays practical, we should be able to keep this moving.

We can move to 2.53 if practical price protection is included. That keeps us close to the market and gives us a path to finalize quickly.

We can do 2.58 with practical price protection language. That matches current market and should let us close this quickly.

We’re close, but 2.58 is still above where we can close given the market. If you can do 2.50 with the price protection language, we can move this forward quickly.

We can narrow the gap, but 2.50 is too low against current input pressure. If you can do 2.56 with the price protection language, we can keep this moving.

We can move slightly to 2.52 if the price protection language is included. That keeps this moving while reflecting the market reference on our side.

We can narrow this to 2.60 with the price protection language. That’s a workable midpoint given current input pressure and should keep us on track to close.

We can move to 2.55 if the price protection language is included. That keeps us close enough to market to get this wrapped up quickly.

We can do 2.59 with the price protection language and close this now. That is aligned with current market and reflects the input cost pressure we're carrying.

We can proceed at 2.59 with the price protection language. Please send the final terms and we’ll move to close.
