| Centaur Grain is a farmer-owned,
committed grain business. The
shareholders are those farmers that
market through the company. With no
"other" interests to serve we are
focused on helping farmers to manage
marketing risk within their businesses. |
| |
Members' funds are secure and
all sales are protected by credit
insurance.
Immediately after harvest, we
check the quality of your grain against
our grading system. This helps us to achieve
the highest possible price for your
crops and helps to maintain our
industry-leading rejection level of less
than 1%. |
| |
| All your details are recorded
in our unique stock management system. This means
we can easily match your grain with a customer
in your region and get the most
appropriate deal for
you. |
|
|
| Making a Decision
|
| How should you market your
grain and how do we help you make a decision?
|
| |
| Step 1 |
| One of our Grain Marketing Advisors will
visit you to discuss every aspect of your
grain business. |
| |
| Step 2 |
| Next you need to consider whether you join
a Marketing Campaign, Producer's
Direct, Tracker Fund or enter a Fixed
Contract. Our Grain Marketing Advisors will
help you decide what is right for you. |
| |
| Step 3
|
| You make a commitment to
Centaur, and become a shareholder member. |
| |
| Planning the dates |
| Depending on your requirements you can plan
the time of year you want to sell each part
of your crop. You decide on the dates of
collection so if you have several farms
but only one loader, we can schedule our
collections to use your resource in the most
efficient way. |
| |
|
Managing
the cash flow |
One of the benefits of membership is the
Company's ability to make Advance Payments to
you. The Producer's Fund defines the latest
estimate of the value of your commitment.
If required a regular Fund Statement of all your sales through
Centaur will be sent to you. We also issue a passport book, with individual numbers
for each load, making tracking weights and payments
easy. |
| |
|
|
Marketing Campaign |
|
You commit your grain to Centaur,
and we will market it on your behalf. All you have
to do is decide on the period of the campaign you
would like to enter, we decide on the collection
date. |
|
|
Producer's Direct |
|
You commit your grain to Centaur,
we market it on your behalf, then you decide the
date and price you sell at. Alternatively, you can
trigger the sale automatically when the price reaches
your desired level. Once sold we collect your grain
at a time chosen by you. |
|
|
Tracker Fund |
|
A Tracker Fund requires you to nominate a
start and finish date for your individual fund,
together with a quantity of grain. At the end of
your nominated period, you are paid the average
price for the duration of your fund. |
|
| Whatever
your marketing needs ... |
|
... Centaur Grain can provide the right solution
for you. |
