Important Notice
AFU is currently building infrastructure across multiple service areas. Some services described on this site are part of our planned offering and may not yet be operational. Specific products, pricing, and features are illustrative and subject to change.
Pre-arranged buyer contracts before planting season. Price-floor guarantees eliminate market risk, while our digital marketplace and export network ensure you always find the best buyer for your crop.
Binding offtake agreements signed before planting season. Farmers know exactly who will buy, at what price, and in what quantity before a single seed goes into the ground.
Every contract includes a guaranteed minimum price. If market prices rise above the floor, farmers benefit from the upside. If prices fall, the floor protects their income.
AFU connects cooperatives to buyers across 15 export markets in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. We handle phytosanitary certification, customs documentation, and logistics.
Surplus production beyond contracted volumes can be listed on AFU's digital marketplace. Buyers bid in real-time, ensuring farmers capture the best available price.
Real-time commodity pricing, demand forecasts, and seasonal trend analysis. Make informed planting decisions based on data, not guesswork.
Full farm-to-fork traceability for every consignment. Meet EU, UK, and US import requirements with digital documentation that tracks origin, handling, and quality at each stage.
List your planned crop, estimated volume, and target harvest date on the AFU platform. Our matching algorithm identifies the best-fit buyers for your specific commodity and quality grade.
Before you even plant, sign a binding offtake agreement with a verified buyer. The contract specifies quantity, quality standards, delivery window, and a guaranteed minimum price.
With a guaranteed buyer and price floor in place, focus on maximising yield. AFU provides agronomic support and input financing secured against your confirmed offtake contract.
Deliver your harvest to the designated collection point. Payment flows through AFU's tri-party escrow — you receive funds within 48 hours of delivery confirmation.
