Group · Soft Commodities Trading

Soft Commodities Trading

We trade grains, oilseeds and vegetable oils, from our own production and from third-party suppliers, connecting producers with buyers in international markets through our own terminals and an established logistics network.

01More than buying and selling

Trading is the coordination of every step that moves a commodity from the producer to a customer in another market — quality, compliance, logistics and risk managed as one continuous chain.

02What we trade

Products and reach.

Our trading business handles our own production alongside third-party volumes, which is why it operates as a dedicated business line.

03How we manage the chain

Control at every step.

Alongside the physical flow of goods, six disciplines run through every transaction.

01

Risk Management

We assess and manage price, counterparty, logistics and operational risk across each transaction, from contract terms to final delivery.

02

Quality Control

Sampling and testing at key points — from origination to loading — help ensure cargo meets the agreed specification.

03

Traceability

Volumes are tracked from origin through storage, transport and shipment, supporting transparency for our customers.

04

Compliance & KYC

Counterparties are screened before we trade, with ongoing attention to sanctions, documentation and payment terms.

05

ESG & Responsible Sourcing

We work to source responsibly and to take environmental and social considerations into account along the supply chain.

06

Logistics & Execution

We coordinate trucks, rail, terminals, storage and vessels so that cargo moves on schedule and to specification.
