AGRICULTURE

Snapshot

Soft Commodities are agricultural products that are grown or cultivated, rather than mined or extracted. This category includes a vast array of goods like grains (wheat, corn, rice), oilseeds (soybeans), livestock, dairy products, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and cotton. Their prices are highly susceptible to weather conditions, crop yields, government policies, global demand, and transportation costs. Volatility is a common feature due to the inherent unpredictability of agricultural production.

Sectors: Grains (Wheat, Corn, Rice, Barley), Oilseeds (Soybeans, Palm Oil, Sunflower Oil), Livestock (Cattle, Hogs), Dairy Products, Tropical Products (Coffee, Cocoa, Sugar), Fibers (Cotton).

Our Edge:

• Farm-gate connections in Africa, Brazil, and Asia for traceable supply.

• Paper Trading: ICE Futures, CBOT, and weather derivatives.

• Risk Focus: El Niño impacts, freight costs, and certification (Fair Trade, Organic).
