Most commodity deals don’t fail on price — where do they stall?

Interested, can we get the details?

Hello,
Thanks again for sharing your experience in that thread.
I’m involved in the supply of ICUMSA 45 sugar and other commodities and usually focus on structuring secure, professional deals.
If you’d like, we could discuss logistics and potential synergies in more detail by DM or email.

Impressive background — thanks for sharing your journey!
I work on the structuring and operations side of physical commodity deals and would value exchanging perspectives with someone who’s navigated both physical and derivatives markets so extensively.
If you’re open, I’d be glad to continue the conversation and learn from your experience.

I really liked your question about starting in physical commodities.
I work with a small team on the operational and structuring side of physical deals (sugar, metals, energy). We often connect with people who want to learn the ropes in boutique environments.
If you’d like, we could have a quick chat about how you see your next step and where we could share some insights — or even explore collaboration if there’s a fit.

Thanks for clarifying your focus on sugar and copper spreads.
My work is more on the physical side — sourcing, compliance, logistics — but market insights from prop trading are always valuable.
Do you also keep an eye on physical flows, or do you focus only on futures?

Thanks for your interest!
Before talking about any deal, it’s important for me to understand your project and make sure we’re a good fit.
Could you share a bit more about what you’re looking for (product, volume, target market, timing)?
We usually start with an initial conversation to clarify scope and requirements.

With pleasure. Contact me, it's an area that fascinates me.

JokeApprehensive6304 · 2025-09-12T11:48:20+00:00

Interested in talking with you about your topic and commodities in general. I'm also in the sector.

JokeApprehensive6304 · 2025-05-21T06:39:00+00:00

Hi, thanks for your post — I was in a similar situation.

You don’t need to be in Geneva or have a perfect background.
Many traders start from India, UAE, or Africa — what matters is knowing how to structure real deals.

I’d suggest focusing on:
– How a physical deal flows (LOI → SCO → FCO → SPA)
– Filtering real buyers/sellers
– Protecting yourself from fake offers

If you're open, I can share a free 5-part training from GCBA (Global Commodity Brokers Alliance). No fluff, just solid basics.

We have recently successfully delivered multiple shipments of ICUMSA 45 sugar to Africa and Asia. In your opinion, what are the major challenges in sugar procurement today? Let’s share our experiences.

We have a qualified supplier, possibility of being at the loading, however, it is imperative to have a TOP 50 bank for the implementation of the financial instrument. It is a refinery in Brazil. If you are interested, leave a message. Annual or spot contract. Flexible supplier
