Where receipts change hands

Graded produce, backed by warehouse receipts, sold direct from the producer to the buyer with settlement in the same movement.

How a sale works

  1. 1 A farmer lists a warehouse receipt they hold, with the grade and weight already on it.
  2. 2 A verified buyer with a funded wallet accepts the price.
  3. 3 Settlement debits the buyer, takes the platform and exchange fees out of the proceeds, and credits the farmer the balance.
  4. 4 The receipt transfers to the buyer and the listing closes. The produce has not moved — it is still in the warehouse, and the paper says who owns it.

Contract types

Spot

Produce that exists now, in a warehouse, graded and receipted. The buyer takes the receipt on settlement.

From 2.5% all-in

Forward

Agreed before harvest. The processor secures supply, the farmer secures a price, and both stop guessing.

Framework

A standing agreement across a season rather than a single load, for buyers who need a reliable line of supply.

By arrangement

Why the listings are not on this page

Because a listing says what a named participant is holding and where it is stored. That is their business, not the public's, so the market sits behind a sign-in and behind verification.

Getting in

Registering takes a phone number. Buying or selling needs Basic verification — a national ID and a selfie — because the person on the other side of a trade is entitled to know they are dealing with somebody real.
