Crop Marketing

Viterra UK Limited

Agrii works in partnership with Viterra UK Limited, a worldwide trader and consumer of cereals, pulses and oilseeds.

Viterra UK has port and storage facilities throughout the UK and strategic links with most feed and milling consumers in all regions.

Agrii’s extensive research in variety selection and crop husbandry coupled with Viterra UK’s detailed knowledge of the market, gives growers a selection of low risk, high output crop options.

Marketing choices include buy-back contracts, pool marketing or movement at harvest with an option to price later.

Growers can also use the Grainman sales and account management system to obtain prices and accept bids, view samples and monitor grain movements and payments.

Storage

More farmers are growing different crop types and this inevitably puts pressure on storage. Agrii can advise on which crops are likely to appreciate in store and which are best to move at harvest. Crops can also be moved to store for specialist cleaning and drying and marketed later, or if the wheat is at contract specification,
moved direct to consumption but with the ability to price later when the market may be stronger.

CONDITIONING YOUR CROP IN STORE
Agrii is able to advise on optimum storage temperatures and moistures and use of storage chemicals to keep the crop stable in the barn.
Should the harvest be compromised by admixture such as Ergot, or suffer from high screenings, the Agrii fleet of grain cleaners, equipped with colour sorters and high capacity grain cleaning, can be a cost-effective way of improving grain quality.

Cash Flow

In order to avoid having to sell at a low price to generate cash, Agrii have mechanisms which can separate movement from pricing, either cash and carry deals (T’s and C’s apply), virtual storage or using options.
