International Trade Minus Time Loss Equals to Coimex
Tags: Trade, Fintech, Economics, Business, Blockchain

Trade has always been here throughout the history of humankind. Although he way it is done and through what have changed over time, but trade has always been here. IT started with barter and came up until money. Its medium is now evolving to something else; blockchain!

Ever since trade has overcame countries and continents; excepts for politics and non-trade-related instabilities. In the meantime, traders get to put up with or undergo through a huge number of barriers and overwhelming processes.

The first and probably the most important one is the time loss importers and exporters have to put up with and make up for while waiting for certain processes to be completed. One of these processes is the swift procedure.

Money transaction between the exporter and the importer takes a lot of time since there are a number of intermediary institutions that actualize the transfer. As Coimex, we aim to reduce this time to even minutes since the money transaction will be done between the trading parties; without any third person or institution involved.

Another process that causes the time loss is the transfer of documents. Contracts and related documents with the details of the business to be done come and go between trading parties; they are being physically mailed and this takes a long time since it is countries and continents that we are talking about. It is hilarious that we are so advanced in technology as humankind and yet, the documents are still physically transferred from one place to another. Why not make use of something you have come a long with and can actually ease your way out of hardship. On Coimex platform, there is a section that enables trading parties to transfer the documents with privacy. The documents will be encrypted in the blockchain and the parties will have access through QR codes that they will be given by the system.

Meanwhile, the goods keep waiting in a place and this costs storage and money and even the loss of the goods itself because either the documents are “on their way” or the money transaction has not made yet because of the intermediary figures it travels through. With Coimex, however, the goods will ne longer be damaged or be burden to the exporter as kept waiting until certain processes are over.

Coimex sees what traders have to put of with and wants them to deal only with the business itself while eliminating the bothering and time-consuming processes that cause traders to lose money as well. The future is bright with Coimex!
List 4 Tariffs — China Trade. Jun 4, 2019 — — MakeMine Minute

Jun 4, 2019 — — MakeMine Minute | By Landon Hinote

The List 4 tariffs are set to go into effect anytime after June 24. The punitive tariffs already placed on exported goods by the Trump administration has forced many companies, if they haven’t already done so, to look for new supply chains and factories outside of China.

For products like apparel, there are many options for manufacturing outside of China. Companies can look to countries like Peru to avoid tariffs. Alternatively, moving manufacturing operations to Vietnam, where tariffs and labor costs are much lower than China, is also a viable supply chain strategy. With rising labor costs in China and new punitive tariffs placed by the Trump administration, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Eastern Europe are also seeing increased demand for production as costs rise in China.

Bottom Line | With the G-20 summit in Japan beginning June 28, President Trump will meet with President Xi. Even if a deal hasn’t been worked out by the 24th, there’s hope to reach an agreement during their meeting in Japan. The trade negotiations could escalate or improve at this time, but the next month should be turbulent either way. To mitigate risk, having a backup strategy is key to companies short and long term success.

The analysis of Forex markets (6th June)

This article is daily technical analysis from analyst Ray

Yesterday’s U.S. employment figures for May at ADP fell far short of expectations and were the lowest since March 2010. The dollar index hit a nearly three-month low of 96.73, but was followed by a strong U.S. non-manufacturing PMI reading of 56.9 in May, which was followed by market expectations of 55.4, up from 55.5. Among them, the ISM non-manufacturing employment index rose to 58.1 in May, the highest since October 2018, while the dollar index bottomed out and closed above the 97 mark. Short term does not rule out the possibility of bottoming, the lower support in the 200-day line average of 96.55 near the upper pressure in the line of 97.50.

EUR/USD

Evidence of a pick-up in the European economy came yesterday when Eurozone service sector PMI readings were broadly positive. But the Eurozone remains politically volatile and the EU has launched a disciplinary process on Italy’s public debt. Separately, the European central bank holds a policy meeting on Thursday as investors wait to see how concerned policymakers are about signs of slowing growth.

The euro hits a new high of nearly a month and a half of $1.1306 yesterday, helped by the dollar’s retreat, but eventually fell back to trade around $1.1250. The upper 200 average pressure in the vicinity of 1.1370, below the support in the 1.1200 line.

USD/JPY

The 108 line has seemed to be well supported in recent trading sessions, although it broke the 108 line intraday, but New York closed above the 108 line, and the market will not rule out a rebound to the 109 line.

XAU/USD

As the old saying goes, first time got the shot, and the second try declines, third try exhausted. This sentence is well used in the gold price trend, yesterday’s peak hit 1243.98, 1246.71 from the peak of the year is only a step away, but the final fall back to the high, the future does not rule out a retreat to 1300 or even below, really give a person a “an operation fierce as a tiger, but a careful look not change at all” impression. Currently, the upper rail pressure of Bollinger band is around 1320.

USO/USD

U.S. commercial crude stocks excluding strategic reserves rose 6.771 million barrels, or 1.4 percent, to 483.3 million barrels in the week ended May 31, according to the energy information administration. Crude stocks rose to their highest level since July 2017. Overall U.S. oil inventories rose to their highest level since 1990.

New York crude oil continued to fall yesterday, hitting as low as 50.60, one step closer to the 50 mark. Remember yesterday’s article I mentioned that if crude oil prices fall below 50 in the future, we can strategically place multiple orders. The previous low was 42.36 (last Christmas 2018).

The above information is for reference only, not as basis for investors operation in the markets, at your own risks.
Daigou — Buying on behalf of. The term Daigou means buying on behalf…
By: Matrex
Tags: Trade, Wechat, Startup, Daigou, China

The term Daigou means buying on behalf of. A daigou is a person who facilitates the buying and selling of international products in Mainland China. Daigou’s purchase products in Australia and New Zealand which can be expensive, hard to find or unavailable in China. These products can be high end food and beverage products, infant milk formula, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals or nutraceuticals. These products make their way to China via a Daigou. Daigou’s normally shop with retailers that ship directly to the buyer, which makes their job easier and the service they provide a lot smoother. Many of these purchases are done through social media channels (mainly WeChat) and e-commerce platforms set up specifically for these types of trades.

It was only a matter of time before the Government stepped in to take action on this fast growing industry. On January 1st 2019 China introduced a new e-commerce law to regulate daigou trade activities. This law means that all daigou parties are required to legally register as an e-commerce operator and acquire a proper license in China and in the country where they shop. This new law will have the daigou trade subjected to taxes in both countries. If you are caught not following the law the minimum charge is $2 million yuan and potential jail time. This hasn’t seemed to phase daigou’s as they still continue to shop and make transactions. As many of their customers rely heavily on quality and weren’t concerned about getting the cheapest price.

It is nothing new that the daigou industry is becoming more popular as products are hard to find in China, brands aren’t as trustworthy and items from our countries are considered a luxury. It’s a sector that makes up $15 billion dollars worth of revenue annually. The daigou market is a powerful way to fulfil consumer demand worldwide while having individuals advocate for brands and their products.

This gives New Zealand and Australian businesses a greater chance of entering overseas markets where daigou trades are active. It does present an opportunity for businesses to gain trust from consumers by proving that their products are what they say they are. It will protect a brands reputation against counterfeiters and create an added security blanket. Our technology allows complete transparency and validation of products along the supply chain from seller to end consumer and everyone in between. Ultimately, for people who are using daigou’s to purchase products, it comes down to trust. They lack trust in large companies wanting to make a huge profit but offer nothing in return to their loyal customers. They trust brands that show that their products have real ingredients, they can prove that they are authentic and where that product originated from, consumers are more than willing to pay any price.

Tags: Trade, Daniel Hudson, San Diego Padres, Padres, Major League Baseball

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres have acquired right-handed pitcher Daniel Hudson from the Washington Nationals in exchange for right-hander Mason Thompson and shortstop Jordy Barley, President of Baseball Operations and General Manager A.J. Preller announced today.

In 31 relief appearances this season, Hudson has posted a 4–1 record with a 2.20 ERA (8 ER, 32.2 IP), .195 opponents average (23 H, 118 AB) and 48 strikeouts to just seven walks. The 34-year-old ranks 3rd among all qualifying National League relievers in SO/BB ratio (6.86), 9th in ERA and SO/9.0 IP (13.22), 11th in BB/9.0 IP (1.93) and opponents OBP (.236), and 12th in WHIP (0.92).

Originally selected by the Chicago White Sox in the 5th round of the 2008 MLB First-Year Player Draft out of Old Dominion University (Va.), Hudson is 56–38 (.595) with 27 saves, a 3.82 ERA (317 ER, 746.0 IP) and 692 strikeouts in 431 career games (61 starts). Since the beginning of the 2019 season, he has posted a 2.94 ERA (41 ER, 125.1 IP) in 120 relief appearances, 12th-best among all Major League relievers. With the bat, Hudson earned the 2011 National League Silver Slugger Award when he batted .277 (18-for-65) with three doubles, one home run and 14 RBI in 33 games for the Diamondbacks.

SAN DIEGO — The San Diego Padres have acquired infielder/outfielder Adam Frazier and cash considerations from the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for infielder/outfielder Tucupita Marcano, right-handed pitcher Michell Miliano and outfielder Jack Suwinski, President of Baseball Operations & General Manager A.J. Preller announced today.

Frazier, a 2021 National League All-Star, currently leads the majors in hits (125), ranks T-2nd in plate appearances (428), and is fourth in batting average (.324).

After being elected to his first-career All-Star Game, he started at second base for the National League alongside future teammate, Fernando Tatis Jr., going 1-for-2 in the game. The 29-year-old made his third consecutive Opening Day start at second base this season and made 94 appearances (92 starts) at second base and seven appearances (no starts) in left field.

US and China trade agreement drove gold negative pressure
By: Hantec Markets
Tags: Trade, Technical Analysis, Stock Market, Gold, Forex

US and China trade agreement drove gold negative pressure

Trading Outlook:

A near term drift back as part of a retracement of the big bull run continues. We continue to believe that this will prove to be a medium term buying opportunity, but on a near term basis the correction is still progressing, with the 50% Fibonacci retracement at $1527 a potential initial target area.

Support:

$1536 — Old 24th September high and intraday 14th January low

$1528–50% Fibonacci retracement of $1445/$1610

$1518 — Old key October highs

Resistance:

$1548–38.2% Fibonacci retracement of $1445/$1610

$1557 — Old key breakout

$1563–10th January high

Today’s Morning Commentary:

As the US and China prepare to sign the first phase of their trade agreement, risk appetite has been positive. This drove gold lower yesterday and maintains the negative pressure today. It also means that the retracement of the big bull run continues. The move in the past 24 hours has now broken a three week uptrend and momentum indicators are reflective of a market in correction mode. A break of the support at $1540 (last week’s low) today now means that a new near term downtrend (with lower high at $1563, and a lower low) is forming. The RSI is back under 60 now, whilst MACD lines are closing in on a bear cross. Finding the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement (of $1445/$1610) at $1548 as a pivot resistance the market is open for 50% Fib at $1528 as an initial target now. We still see that gold is just unwinding the excess of the December into January bull run and believe that the medium term outlook is still positive. There is support in the range of the old breakouts $1518/$1536 which we see will likely be an area to bring the next significant higher low. For now though, the correction is on.

What is the stock exchange & how does it work?
By: Tanishq Thakur
Tags: Trade, Investing, Stock Market, Money, Stocks

The stock exchange is a global marketplace. When companies decide to go public they divide the company into shares which are floated on the stock exchange, i.e made available on the stock exchange to buy and sell.

People who purchase shares of the company become shareholders and own part of the company. Shareholders, unless they own a significant percentage of the company’s shares are unlikely to have any direct say on how the company is run but they will be able to attend shareholder meetings where the bosses of the company will present their strategies and plans for the company going forward. These meetings are also a place where the bosses are answerable to the shareholders for bad decisions and poor company performance. Depending on the perceived value of a company the price of a share will rise or fall.

If say Company X has landed a lucrative government contract then confidence in Company X will rise and the company’s share price is likely to rise. On the other hand if Company Y suffers a set back during the manufacturing of it’s product confidence in Company Y is likely to fall and the company’s share price will also fall. The value of shares fluctuate daily and stock brokers work the market for their client’s, trying to make a profit for them by buying shares when the prices are low and selling shares when the prices are high. In relation to the stock market you may have heard acronyms and terms used such as FTSE, NASDAQ, S & P 500 etc. These are the names of share indexes and they measure the value of a section of the stock market. For example, in the UK the FTSE 100 is a share index composed of the 100 largest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. These companies are often dubbed blue chip companies and include companies such as Barclays, Tesco and ITV. The value of this share index is an indicator of how well the UK’s economy is doing as a whole.

So! that’s the stock exchange in a nutshell, it’s a global marketplace where shares and other company securities such as bonds are bought and sold. This is obviously a simplified explanation but it should give you a basic understanding of what the stock exchange is and how it works.

Stock futures face backlash of Trump’s threat to hike tariffs on China.
By: Lp Pusuluri
Tags: Trade

On Sunday we saw stock futures take a sharp downward turn, a prime indicator for a lower open on Wall Street. This has all come to pass after President Donald Trump announced an increase on tariffs on Chinese goods being imported. This has also escalated the ongoing trade tensions between arguably the world’s two largest economies, and has undermined expectations for an agreement between the two nations. On Twitter the United States President said that progress in bilateral talks was insufficient, and it will lead him to hike duties on Chinese goods as soon as Friday. The tariffs that are to be put into effect were originally reserved pending the outcome of trade talks.

With pre-market trading opening on Sunday evening, Dow Jones futures saw a heavy decline of over 400 points, before paring some of those losses, in the S&P500 future index we also saw a major move into the red zone.

Donald trump a self-proclaimed tariff man, believes that the trade imbalance between the two nations can be reduced significantly with the use of import duties. The president said in a statement that growth in recent times has been effected majorly by the imposition of Chinese tariffs.

With these early warning signs for the markets, we can expect to see the S&P, the NASDAQ, and the DOW facing a rough start to trading when the opening bell sounds, this despite last week’s fantastic employment data. If Sunday’s preliminary decline carries on into Mondays trading, it could potentially threaten a rally that has been carrying the index’s new record highs.

Trumps tightening of trade taxes, could potentially be an extremely positive sentiment for those investors who hold a majority of equities, as with a pullback in the markets, it would mean less risks.

This week both nations are scheduled to meet, in what was set to be the final round of talks before reaching an agreement on tariffs. Over the majority of 2018 the US imposed 25% tariffs on over $50 Billion USD worth of Chinese technological imports, and 10% tariffs on other goods. If the US president does follow through with his word, then the current 10% tax that has been on hold so far will jump up to 25%, this may cause an equal retaliation from china. Trumps recent plan to impose more tariffs, have thrown thoughts that the two nations were close to a deal into the air, leaving investors and analysts wondering what this week’s talks will bring.

Global market severely affected as Trump rocks the trade agreement over slow nods from China

Global market severely affected as Trump rocks the trade agreement over slow nods from China Uttara Jindal May 6, 2019·1 min read

By: Uttara J Malhotra

Global markets have been in doldrums as US threatens to raise tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods to 25 percent from the initial 10 percent. This seems to be tactic being used by Trump to mount pressure on China to speed up its trade agreement.

The recent tweets by Trump are indicative of his certain frustration when he has remarked at Chinese trade agreement “moving too slow.” At the equity market side, that was largely depending on the trade agreement coming through, the numbers have fallen sharply. The evident trade war is already being reported to have lead to loss of billions of dollars for both countries, not to mention, inflicting collateral damage on export-reliant economies and companies from Japan to Germany.

It is being reported that Chinese shares have plunged more than 6 percent, while U.S. stock market has fallen 1.6 percent. Oil prices have sunken deep down and the Chinese yuan has also taken a beating.
US: Non-farm payrolls better than expected
By: Cpt Markets
Tags: Trade, Cpt Markets, Economics, Money, Forex

This is weekly market wrap from analyst Jason Ren

The closely-watched jobs report published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Friday showed that nonfarm employment in April increased by 263,000 to beat the market expectation of 185,000 by a wide margin. With the initial market reaction, the US Dollar Index advanced to its highest level of the week at 98.10. Underlying details of the publication revealed that the unemployment rate dropped to 3.6% from 3.8%, average hourly earnings came in at 3.2% annually to match March’s reading, and the labour force participation rate edged down to 62.8% from 63%.

The Chinese government may turn tough on unplanned stimulus, such as property policy easing and credit growth, which has tangibly surpassed nominal GDP growth. A dial-back of stimulus is likely if Q2 data confirms a recovery and US-China trade talks conclude positively. Recent statements by China’s leaders suggest the government is prepared to implement market opening measures, which bodes well for a trade deal by June. Spending on infrastructure may be scaled back to save fiscal firepower, but the room for higher interest rates is limited. This also means the potential for Yuan to gain value is limited over the coming future.

Real wage growth in UK has begun to rise, while a reduction in dramatic Brexit headlines may help lift confidence a little. This may give the economy a little support over coming months, but overall we expect growth to remain fairly sluggish. This will cause GBP to struggle to gain value over the future weeks.

The Euro traded with small losses as the week closed. Despite the uptick in Eurozone inflation, which saw the core rate jump to a 6-month high driven mainly from seasonal factors stemming from Easter. The markets believe the ECB need to see more persistent data to change their stance.

With the poor 15.5% drop in Australian building approvals data overnight. The Reserve Bank of Australia is definitely sitting up and taking notice of this rolling flow of negative data but whether they will feel compelled to cut their base rate is not clear. The Australian Dollar is a tad weaker this morning on that news and on a profit warning from MacQuarie Bank.

The participants of the Forex market include dealers, financial institutions, and big transnational organizations. Those organizations are trading varies kinds of currency and connected by the agent or telecommunication equipment.

Forex market is huge. There are approximately 30 Forex markets over the world, they are across the different districts, nations of continents. In which the Forex market giants are in London, Frankfurt, Zurich and Paris in Europe, New York, and Los Angels in American, Sydney in Austria, also Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong in Asia.

Every market has its individual characteristics, yet has something in common. Those market are separated by distance and time zone, they run independently yet affect each other significantly. One market may transfer it’s close position to the others. The results may possibly build the basis for the other market the open position of the day. These main Forex market radiate the nations and districts around them.

The example timetable for the four main Forex market (GMT):

London: From 8:00 AM to 16:00 PM

New York: From 13:00 Am to 21:00 PM

Sydney: From 22:00 PM to 6:00 AM

Tokyo: From 24:00 PM to 8:00 AM

As it is briefly explained, because of the time zone difference, one market start after another closing, the whole Forex market runs constantly within 24/7. Thus a ‘won’t stop’ global Forex market is established based on the continuous trading from one to another.

Based on this feature, traders could use strategies such as The London breakout strategy to trade. Usually, traders could use the London Forex session (the first few hours when London forex market open), in this session, it will be the biggest market mover of the currency trading volume which will create exciting trading opportunities.
In the face of global recession risk, central bankers reverse the monetary policy.
Tags: Trade, Yen, Global Recession, Macroeconomics, Japan

After announcing its surprise decision to reverse its monetary policy, the European Central Bank has shocked investors around the world. The quick and aggressive approach by ECB President Mario Draghi to dealing with a spoken market player with the downturn of an economy makes them think that a global recession could occur.

The ECB has not only reduced its 2019 growth forecasts from 1.7% to 1.1% but also announced that it would keep its negative interest rates until the end of the year at least, the initial plan was to maintain rates the same throughout summer. Since the end of last year, the ECB has been trying to complete its vast program of economic stimulus. But, at least for now, Draghi noted that even with new stimulus measures in place, the risks are still slightly downside-down. The slowdown in China cast a shadow over Europe, with Germany registered a 0% growth and in the last two-quarters Italy marked negative growth.

In Japan, the government’s claim that the country is currently undergoing “longer economic expansion” is becoming more and more questionable. A key indicator of economic trends has been recently downgraded by the Government to suggest that the country may already be entering a recession. The worsening consumption of China also seems to leave its mark here. And there is little room for further monetary easing for the Bank of Japan, with already very low-interest rates.

As things stand, Japanese, US, and Europe’s central bankers face the same challenge: a downturn in the economy that is increasingly in danger of becoming a global recession. And if things get worse before the banks finish rolling back the stimulus action they implemented after the global financial collapse a decade ago, the banks wo n’t have adequate instruments to address the crisis.

Trade from Gwadar Port to Afghanistan resume

Even while fighting raged throughout Afghanistan this week, Gwadar Port, which is now run by a Chinese firm, continued to export fertiliser to the landlocked country.

A total of 500 tonnes of fertilizers were transported out of the port’s storage by a fleet of Pakistani trucks during the previous week, according to a port source.

The Gwadar Port, located in Balochistan province, is a significant project of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), a flagship project of China’s planned Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Since its inception, the port has taken on a new function as an efficient transit stop and time-saving commercial port for Afghanistan’s landlocked country. Fertiliser shipments begin.

Due to border restrictions, fertiliser supplies bound for Afghanistan are leaving the warehouses seldom. Despite the fighting between Taliban insurgents and Afghan government troops last week, this commerce was not disrupted, according to a port source.

Zhou Rong, a senior researcher at Renmin University of China’s Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, regarded the uninterrupted commerce flow via this international corridor, even during times of war and strife, as proof of trade’s benefits.

“What transpired just demonstrated that regular trade between nations should not be obstructed regardless of the situation,” Rong said, adding that the Taliban was well aware that it should not obstruct trade, which is beneficial to Afghanistan’s war-torn economy.

A trickle of Chinese items continues to flow into Afghanistan via Pakistan, aided by CPEC infrastructure, however, commerce has been mostly conducted via the Karachi Port, one of South Asia’s largest and busiest deep-water seaports, which handles around 60% of Pakistan’s cargo, according to Rong.

Small machinery, electrical transmission, and distribution equipment, which are purchased by Chinese firms that provide energy to the country’s main cities, were among the Chinese goods delivered to Afghanistan.

According to the Chinese Foreign Ministry, China hopes that the Taliban would honor its pledges to build an open and inclusive Islamic government via discussion, as well as behave responsibly to protect the safety of Afghan civilians and foreign missions in Afghanistan.

According to Chinese analysts, China may play a role in Afghanistan’s post-war rehabilitation and growth, advancing projects under the BRI and contributing investment when safety and stability are restored.

【 Published by icoexaminer | Editor: JONATHAN JONES 】

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) — the intergovernmental body that deals in regulating international trade between nations — has begun it’s two day forum in Geneva centred around the topic of global trade and blockchain technology. The event will cover use cases of blockchain in a range of sectors in an international context including finance, transportation and logistics, border procedures, and agriculture.

The discussions are partitioned into sessions — from an overview of the technology through to more specialised areas such as private company involvement and opportunities for developing countries — and are being broadcast in a live public feed.

In-depth Analysis

For those who wish a deeper dive than can be covered by the proceedings in Geneva, a 56 page report, titled Blockchain & DLT in Trade: A Reality Check, has already been released by the WTO, International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), and Trade Finance Global (TFG) that looks at developments in global trade.

By surveying more than 200 entities active in the blockchain space and concentrating on projects that have moved beyond a proof of concept stage, the publication sheds a light on the current leaders in the field from a broadly governmental standpoint.

The amount of information contained in the report shows how far the use of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) have already been integrated into global trade but also highlights the challenges that “…surround technical issues like interoperability, and others like standardisation, legal concerns, and privacy.”

Despite the overarching narrative of “evolution not revolution” for blockchain advancement, the easy-to-read and well illustrated publication concludes that “A new wave of industry change is coming for the world of international trade.”

BRIDGING THE DATA GAP IN SUSTAINABLE FINANCE

Tags: Trade, Supply Chain, Sustainability, Sustainable Finance

As conversations around sustainability continue to pick up pace year after year the sense of urgency around these conversations increases as well. Along with the urgency comes the inevitable feelings of frustration surrounding a topic very often clouded with a myriad of definitions, opinions and misinformation. As a company with a desire to empower a more sustainable future for the global soft commodity supply chain, we keep coming back to one simple approach: data.

Empirical, scientific data.

The conversations being had right now are important and necessary. But taking immediate action is important and necessary as well. While regulations are being drafted, priorities are being made and re-made and shifted, and goals are being set, we want to start making a difference with the data that our Vasanda EcoSphere tool can provide. There is growing demand for reliable, accountable data that doesn’t depend on an arbitrary rating for proof of sustainability. What we can offer is a scientific look at levels of carbon emission and deforestation (or lack thereof) that takes place at any point in the entirety of the lifecycle of a product, from provenance to market. From analysis of the soil, to the emissions of the various modes of transportation, we can give quantitative data that helps not only to inform the businesses who support and finance these products but helps to inform the actual farmers and producers growing these commodities, thus empowering them to reach their own sustainability goals and have access to more competitive financing options.

As climate change continues to create significant stress worldwide, despite efforts to curb it, the European Green Deal has noted that public and private investments should continue to be influenced by the work being done on climate adaptation. Everyone from investors and business to cities and their citizens should have access to the kind of data that can help combat climate change, a challenge which requires an effort on all fronts.

Empirical data is a critical tool in this fight, as it presents clear facts when measuring sustainability efforts. The best way to ensure access to reliable data is by pushing for and expecting full data transparency of products from source through to market. By financial institutions making it a prerequisite to disclose the source, the supply chain details, and the delivery details, the view around each trade will offer deeper insight and allow for continued efforts to make improvements where necessary as well as celebrate and share successes.

Policy changes will begin to demand this data as a critical part of pushing environmental initiatives forward. Our goal at Vasanda is to work with you to get ahead of any mandates by compiling scientific data on the full life cycle of each soft commodity trade, allowing for full transparency and accountability.
