WHAT CAN I DO WITH HECTARE TRADING?
SUBMIT BIDS
Easily find the grain you need. Search for the crop you're looking for and view essential details like variety, harvest year, and specifications. See the farm's location, available movement period (month or date range), and the minimum and maximum tonnage offered by the seller.
GET BID FEEDBACK
Submit a price offer on a listing and once the listing has been open for 2 hours, or closes, you'll receive bid feedback showing the highest and lowest bids. You always have the option to submit a new price offer on live listings.
POST WANTED LISTINGS
If you're looking for specific crops, why not try our wanted listings? These notify sellers in your chosen regions about your needs, including details on price, tonnage, and movement months. Adding a guide price helps set realistic expectations, improving your chances of finding the right match.
