With seed now in the ground and rain falling across most regions, growers may start to think about their grain marketing.
For some who are keen to get their marketing done before harvest, it can be a bit of a tussle between how many tonnes to commit to a forward contract and how the rest of the season pans out, which can subsequently affect the size and yield of a crop combined with the fluctuations in the grain market.
For those looking to smooth any potential bumps in the wheat market and have the option to change their marketing strategy throughout the season, our new Flexi-starter grain marketing product can help.
Using an early hedging strategy, the aim of the CBH Flexi-starter is to minimise risk while capturing the benefits of the wheat market when it is on the rise.
What sets the Flexi-starter apart is that growers can commit tonnes now and adjust these – based on how they think their season will go – later. So growers can either increase or decrease their tonnes to a level that they’re comfortable with after contracting.
It’s an option that will give growers comfort in the knowledge their tonnes are not locked away in a forward contract with no option of changing the marketing strategy throughout the season.
As with all our marketing products, the Flexi-starter is managed by our experienced grain trading and investment professionals who, with their knowledge and expertise in global grain markets, will employ active trading strategies for this product.
Flexi-starter can help to augment a grower’s grain marketing strategy and help diversify risk, providing some peace of mind for some growers.
The Flexi-starter is currently open however it is only for a very limited time. If you are interested, I encourage you to contact your local Business Relationship Manager or call the Grower Service Centre on 1800 199 083.
