Every way to trade, on your terms
Trade the way that suits you and your business
Your network, and ours
Bring the buyers and sellers you already deal with, so their bids sit beside everyone else's, and say who sees what you post. Then add ours: thousands of assured farms and more than a hundred vetted, credit-checked buyers, from regional merchants to end users, that you'd never have rung.
- Your own contacts, in the mix
- More than a hundred vetted buyers
- Thousands of assured farms
The bids come to you
Sellers say what they've got and when they want an answer, and every vetted buyer bids before then. Compare the bids side by side and take the one that suits you best, on price, movement or terms. Buyers bid their way, ex-farm or delivered, this month or later, part or all of it, and post what they want.
- Every bid side by side
- The bid that fits, on price, month or terms
- No obligation to sell
The deals you'd never have heard about
Contracts and pools matched to your crops and your region, and what buyers near you are short of, brought to you rather than found by phone. Buyers see where unsold grain sits, region by region, never farm by farm.
- Contracts and pools matched to you
- What buyers want, by region
- Grain in regions you never worked
Agreed, confirmed, filed
Accept a bid and the contract is written and sent to both sides, so there's no argument later about what was agreed. Deals done elsewhere go in the same list, so you have one record of everything you've traded.
- Confirmed in writing, every time
- Deals from anywhere, in one place
- Nothing to chase afterwards
Using Hectare Trading is just such a simple process. There's zero complication with it. The result for me is a better price than I could get elsewhere. It's become my default position to market grain.
The wanted ads have allowed us to access more sellers in locations where we are less established and quickly find commodities to fill contracts we are short on.
The benchmark email is another helpful tool; it gives us a clear picture of where the market is sitting and helps us make confident buying decisions.
