Commodity Trading

Your source of agribusiness products from Sout America


Dear Broker / Intermediate / Mandate / Buyer

Thanks for your interest in our sugar. We offer the following commodities:

Sugar Icumsa 45 or 100 or 150;
Raw Sugar VHP 800 / 1200;
Soybean Grade #2 GMO or NON-GMO;
Yellow Corn #2;
CDSO - Crude Degummed Soybean Oil;

We are very confident that you will find we are a company with professionalism, experience, ethics, and integrity. Many of our clients ask us, why we require so much paperwork above and beyond any other company they have dealt with in International Trade?

The reason we require specific documents, in specific verbiage, is because of I.C.C. Arbitration. As you know, if a party of an International transaction does not follow through with their signed and sealed commitment, an International Chamber of Commerce Arbitrator can be called upon to review all parties’ documents and statements. After hearing and reviewing all parties documents and statements, the arbitrator will make a decision to award one or more parties who the arbitrator feels has been wrongfully damaged in a specific claim. Another reason is that we have to follow the requirements of the mills cooperative we deal with, so all can do safe trading.

There are now literally millions of untrained, misinformed global commodity traders (intermediaries) who are trading from home and attempting to secure huge commissions by buying or selling exportable sugar. Thousands of new “agents” are drawn to the business daily, 99% of which will never achieve a single successful deal because even though they mostly set out with good intentions, they do not know how to close a deal from start to finish – most do not even know how to start a deal correctly, let alone bring it to a final conclusion. But this is not the main problem. These agents are always ”trading” with unverified offers.

SUMMARY OF PAPERWORK PROCEDURES:

We follow strict rules to avoid the above and to go beyond your expectations to secure and protect all parties involved (Seller, Broker, Buyer). Therefore, due to some difficulties with buyers, the mills cooperative we work with requires that the steps below be specifically followed. They will not respond to enquirers, if this flow is not followed starting with an e-mail to clovis.lemes@candex.us:
The Buyer sends us an ICPO with Soft Probe Authorization + BCL + NCNDA-IMFPA filled, signed and sealed.
The Seller Issues an FCO (or FCO + Draft Contract) and sends it to the Buyer in 48 to 72 hours.
The Buyer accepts and signs the FCO, which includes his bank coordinates and forwards it to the Seller, who countersigns this, which has to include his/her Bank Coordinates. Copies thereof are forwarded to the Seller, the Seller's Bank and Buyer's Bank (if required at this stage).
The Seller issues a Draft Contract for the Buyer to check if any revision is needed and, if positive, sends those revision notes back to the Seller, together with the Draft Contract signed and sealed. After this, the Seller signs the contract and returns a copy to the Buyer through the Intermediary.
The same actions like the last one up is taken with respect to the Final Contract.
Both sides place the contract and documents in their Banks.
The Buyer Bank confirms POF and the availability of SBLC, BG, ARDLC, MT 103/23 as well as their readiness to issue the respective payment object of the transaction to the Seller's Bank.
The Sellers Bank confirms the POP and the availability of a PB, as well as their readiness to issue it to the Buyer's Bank
The Buyer's and Seller's Bank approve the format / text / verbiage of Buyer’s SBLC, BG, ARDLC, MT 103/23 and Seller’s PB.
The Buyer's Bank issues non-operative Letter of Credit, and in return the Seller's Bank issues an Operative Performance Bond
The Operative Performance Bond activates.
The Shipment commences as per contract, and the delivery is about 25 to 35 days after the shipment.
Following the above, we can serve you better, and in a safe way to all involved.
