Commodity trading New system introduced

 

New Nation (Bangladesh): 24 March 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Bangladesh, March 24 -- To stabiles the commodity market, the government has finally launched 'distributorship system' replacing the old-age delivery order (DO) method.

The Ministry of Commerce (MoC) on Wednesday issued a gazette notification titled on 'Essential Commodity Marketing and Distributorship Appointment Order-2011' to enforce the new system.

"I hope that introduction of the new system will help reduce price manipulation in the commodity market that happens frequently due to transfer of DOs from traders to middlemen in the distribution channel," said commerce secretary Ghulam Hussain.

While talking to The New Nation he said the MoC has introduced the 'distributorship' system from today (Wednesday) replacing the DO system by issuing an Order, which empowered by clause-2 of Control of Essential Commodities Act, 1956."

"The DO system, which was widely blamed for the abnormal price hike of commodities like sugar and edible oil, will scrap automatically in 90 days following promulgation of the order," he added.

He said the Order will be initially applied for the trading of edible oil and sugar and later the system will be introduced for trading other essential commodities.

As per the Order, edible oil and sugar millers will deploy distributors across the country to sale their commodities instead of DO system.

They will be allowed to deploy single distributor in each thanas under a City Corporation and upazilla level they will be allowed to deploy one or two distributors, it added.

Millers or importers will issue supply order (SO) in favour of distributors after they deposit money in banks or respective offices. Names of the distributors and commodities, address of the distributors, prices of commodities and the date of issue will have to be mentioned in the SOs.

The SOs will remain valid for 15 days, which will not be renewed and no commodities will be allowed to supply under invalid Sos. Besides, Sos are strictly prohibited to transfer," the Order added.

The government also ordered selling sugar in kg weight and the edible oil on litre count.

"The government will form a 'national committee' headed by commerce secretary, to ensure smooth implementation of the new system and a list of the distributors has to be supplied to the committee," said Hussain.

The distributors themselves will carry goods from the mill-gate to the respective areas or the producers and importers will have the authority to supply commodities to them.

The producers and importers will periodically inform the monitoring cell of the volume of commodities, supplied to the distributors and their commissions would be fixed on the basis of distance.

The distributors will in no way be allowed to refuse selling of goods unless they have the prior approval of the government.

"There will be one price that is the mill gate price, we won't allow any wholesale price," said the high official of MoC.

He said the government would strictly monitor the system and in case of the violation, companies would be penalised under consumer right protection act.

Earlier, on August 22, the FBCCI proposed to bring in wholesale changes to the entire trading system by scrapping the DO system, replacing it with suitable alternative to check price manipulation and artificial shortages in the market.

Followed by the proposal the ministry of commerce (MoC) had formed a six-member committee headed by additional commerce secretary M Mortoza Reza to make recommendations on how the new system will be introduced.

Representatives from the FBCCI, TCB, edible oil and sugar traders were included in the committee.

The committee had finalised the draft through discussion between the shareholders and government on January 04 this year. Published by HT Syndication with permission from The New Nation.

News-Sentinel (Fort Wayne, IN): 26 February 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

Feb. 26--A group of upcoming workshops aims to increase the knowledge of finances, planning, commodity marketing and management in women in agriculture.

The Purdue Extension's Risk Management Education for Farm Women workshops will offer three choices. "We decided to focus on flexibility," said Purdue Extension educator Kelly Heckaman. "Participants are able to pick what they need, whether that be one, two or three sessions, and are not locked into a six-week course." The cost to attend is $25 per person per workshop or $50 for all three.

The March workshops to be offered in 18 Indiana counties are:

--Financial Workshop is March 10 and 17. Participants will learn about balance sheets and income statements as well as how to stay financially healthy. Deadline to register for this workshop is Thursday.

--Succession Planning Workshop is divided into two sessions March 24 and 31. Participants will hear stories from other farm families and learn about management responsibility and strategies for dealing with family conflict. This session will be broadcast live to the different host sites through an interactive webinar. Participants will be able to speak to and ask questions of other speakers from other sites. Deadline to register is March 17.

--Commodity Marketing Workshop is March 29. Participants will learn basic marketing strategies and how to develop a marketing plan. Deadline to register is March 22.

When asked what the biggest benefit to attendees will be, Heckaman said, "Not only is this a great source for information but also a great opportunity to network with other women in agriculture by learning with each other."

DJ Nigeria Commodities' Group Shelves Talks On New Marketing Boards

OsterDowJones: 09 February 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

IBADAN, Nigeria, Feb 09, 2011 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- The Federation of Agricultural Commodities Association of Nigeria has shelved discussions on a government plan to reintroduce commodity marketing boards in the country until it gets full details of the plan, Halim Iyama, the federation's president, said Wednesday.

He said the federation, which met in Nigeria's capital Abuja Tuesday, believed the information received so far on the new boards was "sketchy", adding that more details were necessary before the federation could take a position on the new boards.

The federation is the umbrella organization of all commodities bodies in Nigeria.

"We know that the central bank of Nigeria has put forward to government the proposals for the reintroduction of the boards. The federation wants to have a meeting with the Ministry of Commerce," Iyama told Dow Jones Newswires.

The ministry is in-charge of agricultural commodities and the sector's stakeholders believe it is the right body to reintroduce commodities boards.

Last week, a spokesman of the Cocoa Association of Nigeria, or CAN, said the association was informed that proposed commodity marketing boards would be run largely by the private sector and not the government.

Nigeria previously had six state-run commodity boards responsible for cocoa, cotton, rubber, palm produce, grains and groundnut, and only the boards could buy these agricultural commodities from farmers and export. The boards also fixed prices for the different commodities.

They were abolished in 1986 by the former military regime of President Ibrahim Babangida and the private sector was allowed to buy and export the commodities.

"Our federation thinks the marketing board should be a market of last resort to guarantee minimum prices for farmers. If the proposed new commodity boards will do that we will support them," Iyama said.

He said state-run commodity marketing boards were "vehemently opposed" before they were abolished adding "we want the present free market system to be retained."

OsterDowJones: 04 February 2011

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

IBADAN, Nigeria, Feb 04, 2011 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- The Cocoa Association of Nigeria, or CAN, is making efforts to obtain the details of the government's plan to reintroduce commodity marketing boards in the country, Robo Adhuze, a CAN official said Friday.

"We are aware that government is proposing to bring back the marketing boards. The Central Bank of Nigeria made the proposals but our association hasn't been contacted by the government on the new boards," Adhuze, an analyst with CAN, told Dow Jones Newswires.

He said CAN was already making "necessary contacts to find out the details of the proposed new boards."

At one time, Nigeria had six state-run commodity marketing boards responsible for cocoa, cotton, rubber, palm produce, grains and groundnut, and only the boards could buy these agricultural commodities from farmers and export. The boards also fixed prices of the different commodities.

They were abolished in 1986 by the former military regime of President Ibrahim Babangida and the private sector were allowed to buy and export the commodities.

"It is worrisome that the central bank made the proposal. The bank isn't well equipped to make such recommendation," Adhuze said.

He said the plan to bring back the boards would be "fully" discussed at a meeting of the Federation of Agricultural Commodities Association of Nigeria in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, Tuesday. The federation, which is the umbrella organization of all commodity bodies in Nigeria, was launched in November last year.

Officials of the CBN weren't immediately available to comment on the plan to re-introduce the commodity boards.

CAN is the umbrella body of farmers, traders, exporters, processors and other groups in the cocoa sector.

OsterDowJones: 14 October 2010

 

[What follows is the full text of the news story.]

By Andrew Johnson Jr. Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

CHICAGO, Oct 14, 2010 (Dow Jones Commodities News via Comtex) -- Spot soybean cash bids rose at the Louisiana Gulf export market due to strong export demand Thursday.

A large soybean export program booked through December is keeping premium bids in the market, said Dave Marshall, commodity marketing adviser with TCFG-LLC in Nashville, Ill.

New Orleans-area exporters say the spread on spot basis premiums is up 1 to 2 cents for soybeans. Higher soy barge freight and gulf bids are offsetting the weight of harvest pressure on interior cash markets.

Gulf cash grain basis was flat for corn and wheat.

The nearby interior soy basis is steady, hard to rally in the midst of harvest. However, with clear weather, 85% of the soybean crop could be cut by Monday, leaving the cash market on the cusp of a strong basis improvement once harvest ends, Marshall said.

Once harvest surpasses 75% the worst of harvest pressure has passed, and based on the premiums for deferred sales, a positive basis outlook is in place, Marshall said.

Basis refers to the spread between national futures and local cash-market prices, and is a measure of supply and demand for grain in any given area.

Consistent Chinese demand kept the soybean basis firm at export terminals, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture announcing private exporters reported the sale of 280,000 metric tons of soybeans to China for delivery in the 2010-11 marketing year.

"Soybean inspections of 976,000 metric tons reflected the strong demand, with total inspections of soybeans 82% above the previous week and 57% above last year," the USDA reported in its weekly grain transportation report. Over 40% of total soybean inspections were destined for China, the USDA said.

Crop Weather

The Telvent DTN weather forecast calls for the continuing warm, dry weather for most of the Midwest area. Illinois, Indiana and Ohio received up to 3/4 of an inch of rain Wednesday. That will slow down harvest, but the moisture was much needed for the wheat crop and pastures. Dry weather for the next week favors field work and planting activities, but reduces soil moisture for early growth of the crop in the Plains, Telvent added.
