Our expertise
With over 55 years of experience, we’ve witnessed the ever-changing dynamics of the coffee industry. In today’s highly volatile coffee market, RGC Coffee stands as a trusted advisor to a diverse range of roasting businesses. Whether you’re seeking guidance for a single pallet or managing the complexities of full containers, our expertise is your invaluable resource.
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.
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.
Forward Coffee
Coffee that’s on the move to a final destination or still at its origin, is called forward coffee.
Spot Coffee
Carefully stored in our warehouses, spot coffee is available in a wide range of profiles, and ready for delivery.
