How It Works
Contract specific paddocks of wheat, barley, faba beans or oats from April to November
Manage the contracted paddocks as normal through to harvest
Deliver harvested production from the contracted area
Participate in pre and post-harvest marketing opportunities from the moment paddocks are contracted
Flexi Grain takes advantage of volatility in the International and Domestic grain markets from the moment your crop is sown, without inherent risks. This actively managed marketing strategy provides growers with exposure to both pre and post-harvest grain markets whilst mitigating wash-out risk.
Growers are simply committing to the grain grown from the contracted paddocks. Allowing Flexi Grain to execute price management strategies and pass on any margins associated.
Flexi Grain simply has a fixed management fee of $10.00/tonne excluding GST for tonnes delivered from both the Hectare and Tonnage Contracts.
An additional fee of $2.50/metric tonne (ex GST) may be applicable for specialty crops such as Durum, Noodle, Biscuit Wheat and Faba Beans as additional marketing and or ISCC accreditation may be required.
