GRAIN MARKETING
GeoCommodities aims to ensure that decisions, transactions and administration occur as smoothly as possibly for all involved, through the provision of the following services:
Support throughout value chain marketing grain, canola, legumes, and fodder
Customised market intelligence and price discovery for each client
Commodity brokerage - mediating between growers and buyers
Contract execution - providing client support during the delivery process for ex- farm and system contracts including provision of freight
Contract administration
Over time we aim to improve the long-run marketing outcomes for clients through delivering relevant information and strategy when clients want it, specific to the client's needs. It is important that we can assist across all aspects of the grain marketing process, but clients decide which services they require enabling them to match their needs and budget. The one- size - fits - all approach is not acceptable in a complex marketplace, and we understand this in our approach.
FREIGHT MANAGEMENT
GeoCommodities is able to source and manage logistics to complement the grain and hay brokerage service that we offer.
Provide trusted carriers for ex- farm and delivered buyer contracts.
Manage logistics administration including time-slotting/vendor declarations/administrative duties for primary producer trucks and commercial carriers.
Competitive rates
Provision of contract execution support in the case of truck rejections or unexpected delays.
Through providing a freight program to support our brokerage services, we can provide our clients with the peace of mind that their grain is being delivered using professional transporters in a safe, efficient manner. All of our transporters are trusted professionals, who take their responsibility for safe, punctual transport of commodities very seriously.
In response to changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law being implemented in 2018, GeoCommodities has done some research into practical measures that growers can implement on farm to remain compliant with their role in the Chain of Responsibility.
HAY & FODDER MARKETING
Hay and fodder has become an increasingly important part of many clients farming operations for their rotations, weed management and/or diversification in commodities. This can be dedicated legume or cereal hay crops or dual purpose for grain or hay depending on weed pressure and seasonal development.
Clients on both sides of the market continue to report challenges in coordinating and executing hay marketing due to uncertainty around price discovery, product quality and contract/payment management. We know our clients are reliable and create quality, marketable products so we are well positioned to assist in placing the right product to the right customer.
