Introducing AFEX Trade Finance Note: Middleman in Trade

When you think of commodities that you use in your day-to-day lifestyle, such as corn, wheat, cocoa, etc, they involve a lot of local and international trade. However, in the production and purchase of these commodities, there are financial gaps in the value chain that hinder the farm-to-table process for everyone and limit the smooth flow of import/export or local trade.

The Russia-Ukraine crisis has also further deepened the global scale of trade and heightened risk to the global economy, which has more than ever created a need to hedge against present and looming inflation.

This is where The AFEX Trade Finance Note can help. This timely availability of finance/funds ensures the effective and effectual flow of trade.

What is the AFEX Trade Finance Note?

The AFEX Trade Finance Note (ATFN) is a new product on ComX that ensures the smooth flow of finance in trade. This is an instrument that seeks to provide the crucial lifeline in form of pre-export financing to exporters of commodities and ensure that these exporters can fulfill the export contracts they have.

How does the AFEX Trade Finance Note work?

For example, imagine a chocolate company that wants to buy cocoa from Cocoa farmers domestically and internationally, the company is aware that it will profit more if it buys directly from the farmers, however, it has no funds to buy. The AFEX Trade Finance Note will provide finance to facilitate the transaction, thereby acting as a middleman. This act will ensure a smooth flow of trade as well as create a win-win situation for both the company and cocoa farmers.

What are the benefits of the AFEX Trade Finance Note?
