Farmers choosing to sell their OSR through the United Oilseeds Carte Blanche Pool have consistently achieved a sale price for their crop that exceeds the market average.
This is because United Oilseeds’ highly experienced in-house trading team has continually delivered a market and competitor-beating performance year after year.
Placing your crop in the Carte Blanche marketing pool is a proven method of minimising risk and avoiding dips in the market. The return from the Carte Blanche Pool will often cover your haulage and storage cost if you need to move at harvest and the interest on a cash advance.
It also enables you to escape the stress of continually having to monitor market movements yourself, as our in-house professional trading team manages the pool 24/7, freeing up your time to get on with other important tasks on farm.
