New 'Softs' Physical P2P Marketplaces

'Levelling The Market and Aligning Price Discovery'

“One third of the world’s food is produced by 500 million farms of less then two hectares, with the ratio higher in developing world countries. An estimated 1.5 to 2 billion people worldwide are dependent on small holder agriculture.”

Access to the Global Market and Prices

Our new P2P 'Softs' Commodity marketplaces adapted to the characteristics of each commodity, build upon the same essential structural value proposition brought to the New Forex market, but with a different structural impact. Less about relinquishing institutional control, and more a case of structural re-aligning price discovery to meet the modern requirements of the globalised physical marketplace.

In these new marketplaces commercial buyers and sellers directly access the market and drive creation on a platform fully integrating the entire transactionary and shipping process.
 

Redressing Imbalances and Market Dis-intermediation

A fragmentation of the market; smaller and more efficiently allocated P2P trades between communities of smaller buyers and sellers breaks the hold of trading houses and powerful conglomerate buyers over the physical marketplace. Farmers, empowered to bargained as unified collectives against more powerful buyers, are able to access and command fair and representative world market prices.The role of intermediary wholesalers is also be similarly diminished as supply chain cost input and margins are stripped out.

Better Prices: Poverty Alleviation and Lower Consumer Prices

If the speculative market has grown in sophistication, the physical commodity market has seen very little evolution over time. Opaque, disjointed with antiquated manual trade sourcing and structuring still at the heart of operations, the introduction of modern streamlined, open and transparent technologically enhanced marketplaces would rapidly consolidate their position as the new mediums of exchange for these structurally antiquated markets.
