Structured Commodity Finance
Agro trading is volume-heavy, margin-sensitive, and exposed to shipment timing risk. Transactions fail when commodity economics are acceptable but documentary control is weak. That is why finance performance depends less on pitch decks and more on contract terms, title flow, inspection logic, and payment sequencing.
This page ranks the top traded agro commodities using 2024 global trade values, then shows how to structure financing around physical flows. If you are preparing a live file, align with our process on how it works and our trade finance advisory scope.
We work as a transaction-led desk: file intake, indicative terms, mandate activation, underwriting memo, lender distribution, and condition cleanup to close.
Scope and execution model are outlined on our services page.
| # | Commodity | HS Code | Global Trade Value (2024) | Typical Finance Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Soybeans | 1201 | USD 80.5B | Pre-export and shipment-backed facilities tied to offtake and delivery windows. |
| 2 | Wheat | 1001 | USD 57.3B | Import LC lines, port-cycle finance, and short-tenor receivables support. |
| 3 | Coffee | 0901 | USD 50.3B | Origin-to-roaster inventory turns with assignment of proceeds. |
| 4 | Corn | 1005 | USD 44.3B | Cargo-linked payables bridge and revolving working capital. |
| 5 | Palm Oil | 1511 | USD 43.5B | Bulk shipment finance with strict quality and title controls. |
| 6 | Raw Sugar | 1701 | USD 42.7B | Seasonal import programs and contract-backed receivables lines. |
| 7 | Rice | 1006 | USD 39.6B | Distributor finance, shipment tranches, and documentary LC structures. |
| 8 | Cocoa Beans | 1801 | USD 18.7B | Origin procurement finance with tight quality and traceability checkpoints. |

SPA terms, Incoterms, quality clauses, and payment triggers must be synchronized. Misaligned contracts are the main reason viable deals get declined.
LC language must match shipment reality. Document mismatch risk destroys timing and blocks drawdown even when cargo is genuine.
Lenders want clear title chain, warehouse or transit evidence, and enforceable assignment mechanics before they provide working capital.
Your file needs visible downside protection: inspection protocol, default logic, and collection rights that hold up under stress.
KYC, AML, sanctions screens, and source-of-funds transparency are not paperwork extras. They are gating items.
Close speed depends on clean data rooms, one version of contract truth, and rapid response to lender condition lists.
We structure and distribute. We do not promise automatic approvals. Our role is to move qualified files through underwriting with clear documentation, realistic terms, and controlled lender outreach.
If your flow is active and your counterparties are real, we can help you translate a commercial opportunity into a financeable structure.
Send your live file for screening and indicative structuring terms.
Submit Your DealNo. We structure transactions and place them with funding partners based on underwriting fit.
Yes, if they have credible counterparties, coherent contracts, and a realistic execution path.
Yes. LC and related payment-security structuring are core parts of our commodity mandates.
Timing depends on file quality, counterparty responsiveness, and lender condition cycles.
We document the reason, revise structure where feasible, and continue within mandate scope.
Start with formal submission so underwriting can assess structure and capital path.
