Consultancy

We provide personalised services, enabling you to make well-informed decisions. With access to real-time market data and a network of experienced cotton analysts, we ensure you stay abreast of the latest market trends.

For most businesses operating in the cotton supply chain, price risk has the greatest impact on profitability. We seek to ensure that you are utilising all tools available to you to mitigate or hedge price risks.

We believe that agents should offer more to justify their role in the supply chain and that’s why we offer independent, agnostic market advice to all our clients to promote more informed decision making
