We provide the following services for Processors to mitigate the Pre-processing risks.
Pre-Processing Risk Management
Planning and Budgeting
Our planning solutions are aimed to assist the supply chain stakeholders in identifying the remunerative projects in a given location. The project feasibilities will be worked out by systematic mapping of available resources across the geographical locations, budgeting, and drawing process flows and materials management.
Procurement Solutions
We understand that procurement forms critical part of agri-processing and as per conservative estimates, raw materials contribute around 70% of the total cost component. We believe that a mere 5% saving in procurement cost in value is equal to 25% additional revenue generated through sales.
Storage and Preservation
As agro products are seasonal in nature and needs to be stored for longer durations, adoption of scientific storage practices are essential for minimizing the storage losses. We believe that our expertise and association with large number of CMPs across the country would not only help in improving the storage efficiencies but also minimize the costs associated with storage of raw materials.
Testing and Certification
Timely testing will help mitigate the quality risks that are ever-present in the commodity world.
Market Information
We provide information on spot and futures prices, market arrivals and market trends to enable decisions on the timing of the sale.
Price Risk Hedging
Stakeholders of agro-commodities value chain are faced with price and production risks over time and within a marketing year. Furthermore, increased global free trade has further aggravated the situation and made them more vulnerable to price fluctuations. Our hedging solutions are aimed to help the firms in maintaining the competitiveness by minimizing the firm's exposure to various risks associated with agro commodities handling.
Funding Linkages
Finance arrangements will be put in place to ensure payments on time for the procurement program. We also, arrange for extension of lines of credit as required by the storage period or as required by prospective buyers.
Processing and Packaging
On-site provision of processing, grading and packaging will save time and expense in shifting to a separate processing area. The material will be ready for further processing in the factory without loss of additional time. |
