Fertilizer Trade Finance Solutions | Prepayment, Inventory & Contract-Backed Credit
Fertilizer Trade Finance Solutions
Fertilizer is one of the most liquidity-hungry commodities in global trade. Importers and exporters face major working capital gaps between purchase, shipping, storage, and resale. Financely structures $10M–$250M fertilizer trade finance facilities, covering every stage of the cycle — prepayment, in-transit cargo, and inventory warehousing — underpinned by purchase contracts and end-buyer offtake agreements.
Prepayment Finance
Fertilizer producers often require upfront payment before shipment. Financely arranges prepayment facilities so importers can secure product without tying up their balance sheet. Facilities are typically secured against contracts, letters of credit, or performance guarantees.
Cargo & In-Transit Financing
Shipping cycles can span weeks, locking up millions in capital. With cargo financing, lenders advance funds against bills of lading, allowing traders to release working capital before goods arrive at port. Risk is mitigated with collateral management and trade credit insurance.
Inventory & Warehouse Receipt Finance
Fertilizer distributors often need to hold stock close to customers. Financely places inventory-backed financing using warehouse receipts and collateral management agreements. This enables distributors to unlock liquidity while ensuring security for lenders.
Contract-Backed Credit
Long-term supply contracts with farmers, distributors, and cooperatives can be financed through contract-backed facilities. Financely underwrites these deals by structuring credit against receivables and confirmed purchase orders, ensuring working capital flows smoothly across the cycle.
Example Fertilizer Trade Finance Structure
| Stage | Typical Financing Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Prepayment | 20%–40% | Upfront to secure cargo |
| Cargo/In-Transit | 30%–50% | Advanced against B/L and shipping docs |
| Inventory/Warehouse | 20%–40% | Secured with warehouse receipts |
| Contract-Backed | Up to 70% of receivable | Based on confirmed purchase orders |
