Grain Trade Finance: Wheat, Corn & Rice

Financely arranges large-ticket trade finance for global grain flows — wheat, corn, and rice in particular. We execute on mandates only, providing structures acceptable to global banks, private credit, and insurers: pre-export finance, LC issuance and confirmation, discounting, receivables purchase, and inventory finance. We implement controls including warehouse receipts, collateral managers, surveyors, and insurance aligned to lenders’ requirements.

“They secured a $150m wheat pre-export line in less than 60 days. Their control package and lender network turned a stalled deal into a signed facility.”
