Grain Brokerage
This is the original Agricole service. A 'beat my price' service, Agricole achieves a higher price or better total contract on approx 95% of the time. Over £1m has been saved for its clients since 1993. This service is, 50p/t.
This service is being superseded by the Marketing service, using hedging, to add Price Risk Management to decisions, due to volatile price movements.
The farmer clients ring their usual merchanting /consumers and then BEFORE they sell, ring Agricole.
They tell Agricole who they have spoken to, the price achieved and the specification, movement period, payment required and any special terms required.
Agricole then rings OTHER contacts and reverts to the client with two results:
A lower price: You pay Agricole NOTHING. You sell to your usual trader in the knowledge that you have the best price from both of those you ring and Agricole too.
A higher price: Agricole explains who is bidding the best total package, be it price, delivery, payment terms etc. If the client is happy with the buyer concerned then the buyer and seller are confirmed. The seller then receives contract confirmation from the buyer. Agricole monitors all stages of the transaction to confirm adherence to the agreement. The buyer and seller liaise over collections etc and the BUYER PAYS THE SELLER.
Agricole does not handle any client monies.
Agricole oversees the contract and handles any problems for its client, ie claims, rejections etc
Agricole commission is only 50p/t, payable once the contract has been moved.
The commission charge, although payable to Agricole, will always leave the client better off.
No client should be trading with Agricole unless they make more money, net of commission, by the better contract achieved.
