CASH SUPPORT:

Farm & Trade Provides Post-Harvest Funding to California Growers So They Can Retain Control of Their Product During the Entire Two Year Production to Market Cycle. Our Funding Allows Growers in California to Receive Approximately 75% of the Market Value For Their Product While Maintaining Control When Market Conditions Warrant Holding Rice For Better Prices.

AgriFin is a Ground-Breaking Alternative to Consignment Pools, Providing Growers With the Cash Flow They Need By Providing Cash Payments Directly to Growers Early in the Season. This Gives Growers the Freedom to Sell Their Commodity to Who They Want When They Want and for the Price They Feel is Fair.

In Years Past, Growers have either had to “Go it Alone” in the Chaotic Commodities Marketplace, Secure FSA Loans, or Pledge Their Rice Into Consignment Pools, Which Do Little More Than Consolidate Rice Stocks and Reduce the Average Buying Price to All Local Farmers. AgriFin Puts a Stop to This By Providing Cash Without Taking Control of YOUR Crop.

AGRIFIN PAYS AS MUCH OR MORE THAN POOLS. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CURRENT RATES…

SELLING THROUGH ONLINE TRADE:

In the Fall of 2013, Farm & Trade Joined Forces with California Rice Exchange (CRE) to Provide Rice Growers Another Avenue to Sell Their Rice, While Still Maintaining Control.

California Rice Exchange (CRE) was Created to Provide an Easy-to-Use and Efficient Alternative to Present Rice-Marketing Pools, Controlled by Rice Buyers.  Employing the Internet, CRE created a Cash Market Trading Floor for Paddy Rice, Where Producers Offer to Sell, and Buyers Bid to Purchase Rice Online.

Specific Lots of Rice and Prices are Posted on the Trading Floor; Where Users have Daily Access to Confirmed Sales, (Price Transparency). This Allows Users to Become Better Marketers. Other Key Features of the Cash Market Trading Floor Include: Buyers and Sellers Remain Anonymous, High-Speed Execution, Marketing Flexibility (Timing, Quantity, Price, and Variety), Swift Purchase and Payment.
