Every market is built on the same 8 pillars. A requirement for all markets to efficiently operate need supply, demand, buyers & sellers, contracts, trading infrastructure, an intermediary to help facilitate the sale, plus the above mentioned analysis and prices.
Together we’re moving our grain market into a model similar to the modern day stock market. Here’s how we’ve divided the functions:
Analysis provides you support to sell grain. To make a choice to sell grain or control a margin, you need to take a view on the market. Is it worth holding grain? What or should I sell? What factors are affecting the price. It is no longer practical to just sell it off the header being naive of the facts. Gross margins are too slim to be this laissez-faire.
Decide using facts drive from actual data - not any ones minds eye or popular belief. Who writes the analysis? What is so special about Profarmer analysis?
