Pool Marketing
Pool marketing provides a simple, safe method of marketing grain, generating consistently above-average returns without the inherent risks of ‘spot’ selling.
Our pools provide an opportunity to add value through quality premiums with a choice of payment dates, access to advance payments at favourable rates, credit insurance on sales, storage options and flexible haulage arrangements.
They are managed by grain market professionals and are supervised by a committee, including farmers directors, who set the sales strategy and monitor pool performance, ensuring that members derive maximum benefit.
Competitive Spot Market and Forward Prices
We offer a wide range of marketing options to suit all farm businesses. Using our in house expertise, we confidently offer unbiassed market advice and competitive prices across grain, oilseed, and pulse markets.
In the past, Fram Farmers have traditionally been recognised for strong pool performances. Adding to this, the ability to offer competitive "spot" prices completes a well rounded grain marketing service.
Forward planning is becoming increasingly important when it comes to running YOUR business, and this is where we’re here to help.
Reliable and Familiar Hauliers
Working with reputable hauliers that are local and familiar to our farmers allows us to execute grain sales in a slick and hassle free way for the grower in most cases.
The haulage industry faces major challenges in today’s world, but this is an area where our Crop Marketing Team excels.
"Fram use hauliers who are local to us which means they can often load at the end of the day, and they’re familiar with our more remote grain stores, again, saving us time and effort." Mike Shapland, Farm Manager at Foskett Farms
Buyback Contracts
Fram Farmers can offer a greater range of ‘buyback’ contracts by working closely with seed breeders and end users of grain. This will add value to forward contracts by:
- Locking in premiums for sales effectively.
- Offering attractive terms and intelligence on seed contracts.
- Improving the range of alternative cropping options for Fram members.
