Risk Management

Violent price swings in the grain market threaten the financial stability of agricultural companies. Leveraging a wide array of tools, FITC can provide tailored risk management solutions to bring stability and confidence to your operations.

Merchandising

Since its inception, FITC's core mission has been to merchandise agricultural commodities. Initially, FITC functioned as a dedicated purchasing department, allowing clients to focus on their core business. These services were fee-based, determined by volume and logistical complexity. As FITC expanded, its "cost-plus" service model attracted new clients. Today, FITC collaborates with a diverse clientele, offering flexible purchasing solutions ranging from single commodity procurement to comprehensive, company-wide purchasing management. Additionally, FITC provides expert consulting services on agricultural commodity procurement.

Logistics

Expert logistics is paramount. While purchasing presents its own complexities, the challenges of timely and cost-effective delivery can be equally demanding. FITC possesses long-established relationships with a diverse network of trucking companies, capable of handling any transportation requirement.

In terms of rail transport, we maintain strong connections with all Class 1 railroads nationwide, as well as regional carriers. This facilitates the seamless rail movement of goods to their destinations. In fact, one of our company's original functions was to provide consulting services to customers needing assistance with rail logistics. We continue to offer these valuable services today.
