 FAQs

  • Crop buyers: All of our buyers are carefully vetted and credit checked before they can buy crops or use our trading insights. Get in touch with our team to chat about what commodities you are interested in and in what regions and we’ll take you through the process quickly and painlessly to get you up and running in no time.

  • Crop: Our crop trading is commodity agnostic meaning you can use it to trade any agricultural crops such as wheat, barley, oil seed rape, oats and including crops for feed and damaged crops destined for the green energy supply chain.

    Talk to us about your requirements and we’ll help get you started.

  • We know you are trading in a dynamic market and need control over the price offers. We’ve made it easy for you.

    You can easily put a time limit on all price offers, edit or even withdraw an unaccepted offer, so you're never locked into an unfavourable price.
