Grainvest Physical has diversified over the years and has included trading services in grain, raw materials, livestock and protein.
This RussellStone subsidiary focuses on back-to-back trading of a wide range of physical agricultural commodities such as beans, chop, oil cake, grains and various oils.
We also trade in charcoal made from invasive and alien tree species, sourced from the government project, Working for Water. Grainvest Physicals is enjoying strong growth, due to its superb trader network and dedicated logistics operators. Astute cash management and a keen sense of timing have proven critical to our success.
We understand agricultural logistics and the impact of logistics on trading. As we do not take a view on the market, we are able to source the best deal for clients and provide exceptional service in back-to-back trading.
Grainvest Physicals has invested in building good relationships with banks, agricultural corporations and other traders in the market, enabling us to provide our clients with outstanding service and top quality products.
