Hectare is set to attend this year’s Cereals event to share its vision with farmers. The company says:
“We get it – selling your grain isn’t easy. The market can be unpredictable, you’re dealing with lots of merchants, and it’s hard to know when it’s the best time to sell. We’re here to help.
“In 2016, our founder Jamie McInnes teamed up with arable farmer Andrew Huxham to launch Graindex. Their goal was to simplify selling grain for farmers by building a network of trusted buyers.
“Since then we’ve grown to become the leading grain marketplace in the UK. Last year, we relaunched as Hectare Trading to introduce even more exciting features, making it easier than ever to trade with confidence.
“And the cherry on top? It’s always free for farmers.”
With Hectare you can benchmark prices from the UK’s biggest network of buyers, so you feel assured you’re always getting the best price, the company explains.
Hectare carefully verifies and credit checks all its buyers regularly, giving farmers peace of mind and the freedom to explore all bids that come their way.
To stay informed, you can visit Hectare’s Market Insights page, where you can see recent trades on the platform, ex-farm pricing and access news from trusted sources such as ODA and AHDB.
Have a particular price in mind? Receive alerts when the market reaches your desired price, ensuring you never miss a market peak again.
Hectare’s Advance Pay feature lets you get paid for your grain now. You can accept a price offer from the buyer of your choice, for the movement month that suits you and get paid fast.
Since the launch of Hectare Trading the company says it has empowered hundreds of farmers to take control of their grain trading.
“It has been incredible to witness farmers strike up successful trading relationships with new buyers and regularly net a higher price than they ever expected. We’re thrilled to extend a warm welcome to all our users and those eager to learn more about our platform.”
