RGC-services-Futures-Marketblue

Future exchange

A futures exchange or futures market is a central financial exchange where people can trade standardized futures contracts; that is, a contract or agreement between a buyer or a seller to buy specific quantities of a commodity or financial instrument at a specified price with delivery set at a specified time in the future. Such instruments are priced according to the movement of the underlying asset, in our case the commodity of Coffee. By participating in a futures market, buyers and sellers create natural hedges against price swings in the coffee market while locking in coffee supply.

RGC-services-Direct-Tradeblue

Direct trade

Some roasters choose to work directly with the farmers or organizations producing the coffee. Called direct trade, such relationships may involve contract negotiation, purchasing, training, and other kinds of exchanges. If you need assistance in such a relationship, we’d be happy to provide guidance, financing, and logistical support. It’s something we do to provide a helping hand to those roasters who may not have the logistical experience or up-front capital to move the coffee from origin to their roasting plant.

RGC-services-Forward-Coffeeblue

Forward Coffee

Coffee that’s on the move to a final destination or still at its origin, is called forward coffee.
