Deferred Transfer Contracts

 

A Deferred Transfer Contract allows you to lock in a price for your grain now, while delaying the transfer of title until a later agreed date. This means you can secure a favourable price today, but retain ownership of the grain until you're ready to deliver or transfer it—whether for logistical, financial, or tax planning reasons.

Key Benefits for Growers

• Price Certainty: Lock in a price when market conditions suit you, without needing to commit to immediate delivery.
• Storage Flexibility: Keep grain on-farm or in storage until you're ready to transfer, giving you more control over logistics.
• Cash Flow Planning: Align transfer timing with your financial strategy, including considerations around payment timing and tax planning.
• Risk Management: Reduce exposure to market volatility by securing a price while maintaining flexibility on movement.

How it works

STEP 1: Contract Setup: You agree to a price and volume with our team and nominate a future transfer date.

STEP 2: Grain Remains Yours: Until the transfer date, you retain ownership and responsibility for the grain.

STEP 3: Transfer & Payment: On the agreed date, title is transferred, and payment is made according to your selected payment terms.

Our team is here to help you structure contracts that suit your business. Whether you’re looking to manage risk, improve cash flow, or simply gain more flexibility, Deferred Transfer Contracts can be a powerful part of your grain marketing toolkit.
