Don't Leave Your Grain Marketing to Chance
Viterra's risk management contracts can help you take a disciplined approach to marketing your grain.
With the Target Price Agreement (TPA) you can set the price you'd like to achieve and we'll watch the market for you. Or check out Viterra's Minimum Price and Floored Average contracts which allow you to lock in a floor price and still capture the market rallies.
BASIS CONTRACT
Fix the basis and capture the market rally.
What is it?
A basis contract lets you lock in a basis level but leave the future prices open until a later time. View the factsheet here.
CWB BASIS PRICE CONTRACT
What is the Basis Price Contract (BPC)?
The BPC is a Producer Payment Option (PPO) that the CWB offers to producers of wheat. The BPC is a contract that offers the most flexibility of PPOs based on the Pool Return Outlook (PRO), however, it is also the one that carries the most risk. This contract allows you to ‘lock in’ a basis against the Minneapolis futures market, and lock in the actual futures at a later date. View the factsheet here.
CWB EARLY OPTION CONTRACT
What is an Early Payment Option?
The Early Payment Option (EPO) is a CWB Producer Payment Option (PPO) that provides additional cash flow and sets a floor price. EPOs are available on most of the grains that are marketed through the CWB. Unlike other PPOs, tonnes signed up on an EPO remain in the CWB’s pool. View the factsheet here.
CWB FIXED PRICE CONTRACT
What is the Fixed Price Contract?
The FPC is a Producer Payment Option (PPO) that the CWB offers to producers of wheat, durum and barley. The FPC is a combination of US futures prices and the Pool Return Outlook (PRO), giving producers the unique ability to participate in price rallies that they would not see in the Pool, nor would they see in a traditional open 'cash' market. View the factsheet here.
CWB FLEXPRO CONTRACT
What is FlexPRO?
The newest of the Producer Payment Options (PPO) is the FlexPRO. This contract replaces the Daily Price Contract (DPC). It is more of a cross between the Fixed Price Contract (FPC) and the regular pooling contract. CWRS, CWHWS, CWES, CPSR, CPSW, CWRW and CWSWS are all eligible for sign up on FlexPRO. View the factsheet here.
CWB GRAINFLOW CONTRACT
What is GrainFlow?
The newest of the CWB delivery contracts is the GrainFlo. This contract allows producers to choose when they deliver their milling wheat or durum without having to wait for CWB calls. View the factsheet here.
FIXED FUTURES CONTRACT
Eliminate your price risk and wait for the basis to improve.
What is it?
A fixed futures contract allows you to fix the futures price on a quantity of grain and leave the basis open. View the factsheet here.
FLOORED AVERAGE
Protect the downside, but capture the upside.
What is it?
The Floored Average contract is a low risk marketing option that allows you to establish a floor price based on the current futures price, while still having the opportunity to participate in a rising market. View the factsheet here.
MINIMUM PRICE CONTRACT
