English term or phrase: post prices
We have seven million tonnes of forward shipping booked by buyers for grain.
In total we have over X buyers in our system, and so far this season, 23 are posting prices and/or have bought grain.

Does that mean they are stating the price they are willing to pay?

Selected answer:stating prices
Explanation:
"Posting" here means stating, making people aware of, their prices
"Posting" can mean putting up a poster but these days usually just means putting a message or announcement on a website or elsewhere

Or even "announcing"

Don't forget that this is "forward shipping" so forward buyers need to state prices they are willing to pay in advance
