The role

Why hiring a grain origination manager calls for a dedicated process

Origination is the start of the grain chain. The originator buys production, negotiates priced-later or forward contracts, structures barter deals and coordinates receiving with logistics, always keeping an eye on price, currency and counterparty risk.

What sets a good originator apart is their grower network and commercial discipline. We map professionals by producing region at trading companies, grain merchants, cooperatives and crushing plants.

What we assess in an origination manager

  • Grower network in the region
