Agribusiness Strategy

Commercial consultancy, not generic reports

We work on your actual situation: what is in the silo, what is contracted, what exposure is open and what market window is ahead of you. Recommendations come with the reasoning behind them, not just the conclusion.

How we work

• Assessment of your commercial position and current exposure
• Analysis of local and international fundamentals relevant to your crop
• A selling plan built around windows, thresholds and scenarios
• Direct contact at decision points, not only at the monthly report

What you get

Clarity at the moment of decision. We do not predict the market — we build a framework in which your decisions are made with complete information, in time.

Physical market consultancy

• Analysis of the commercial agribusiness market, with regular briefings on what that analysis shows.
• Estimating the moments to sell, and calibrating what share of the crop goes at each one.
• Catching the spikes in the physical market.
• Avoiding the contractual traps in forward selling, on basis against the indication.
• Daily inclusion in the broadcast listing that circulates fundamentals and drivers: origins and destinations (volumes and projections), weather, exchanges, reports, politics and geopolitics.
• First thing every morning, the CBOT overnight and the Euronext open in real time. Price estimates at first light, and a confirmed price range on CPT Constanța parity around midday.
• Analysis and negotiation of contract forms, and other matters within the expertise of the Romanian agribusiness market.
• Mediation of disputes over contractual parameters: quantity, quality, logistics parameters, delivery period.
• In the worst case, where you are in default, we mediate the market difference between you and your client.
• 24/7 support for any matter, attempted sale, clarification, question or problem.

The trader is available to you 24/7

As we said, the trader is available to you 24/7:

• Market information and updates at any hour, before the market knows — from fundamentals (weather, exchanges) to the reports of various entities and our own network, politics and geopolitics.
• Spot advice on sales and averaging advice on locking sales or locking margin — but you are the one who decides in the end.
• Daily prices and ranges. Overnight exchanges first thing in the morning (CME).
• Contract review, potential risks in contracts that could affect you later, and resolution of disputes within the contractual window.
• Every Saturday at midday you receive analysis for wheat, corn, barley, rapeseed, sunflower seed and soybeans.

Confidentiality

We honour this principle at every moment. Our client is protected, and nobody knows anything at all about them or their trades.

• The broadcast list is secured and no recipient ever sees another.
• Our clients honour confidentiality in return and disclose nothing they receive — neither information nor advice — to anyone.
• Our clients do not disclose that they hold a consultancy contract with AGRICOLUMN, and do not use our name in discussions with prospective business partners.
• Our clients are the ones who negotiate price with prospective buyers. We are not the owners of the goods.
• The decision is yours at every moment, because the owner of the goods is you and never us.
