As one of this year’s sponsors of the Abraham Kriel Liggiefees, ACMA Trading brings its expertise and values to Potchefstroom’s most beloved festive event. Founded on the principles of trust, flexibility, and outstanding client service, ACMA is a cornerstone in the Southern African grain trading industry and a valued supporter of community initiatives.
A Trusted Name in Grain Trading
Established in 2010, ACMA Trading stepped in to fill a crucial gap in the agricultural market when a major commercial bank closed its grain trading division. With its roots in Johannesburg and a later relocation to Potchefstroom, ACMA quickly evolved into a fully-fledged originator and supplier of bulk grain.
Today, the company provides tailored marketing services to the agricultural food sector, working with a range of commodities such as wheat, white and yellow maize, soybean, and sunflower seeds. ACMA’s clients include farmers, soft commodity traders, and grain end users.
With over 35 years of combined grain trading experience, the ACMA team has built long-term relationships that are the backbone of its success. Its flexible and innovative business processes ensure competitive pricing and sustainable outcomes for its clients.
Comprehensive Services for a Complex Industry
ACMA offers a holistic approach to grain trading, addressing the entire supply chain to ensure a seamless experience for its clients.
Physical Grain Delivery: ACMA sources and transports grain directly from farms, silos, or storage facilities to mills, feedlots, and other end users. With a vast farmer network and efficient logistics, the company ensures smooth, reliable deliveries.
Price Risk Management: Understanding the risks involved in agricultural commodity prices, ACMA assists clients in making informed decisions. By analyzing market factors such as supply and demand, international prices, and weather patterns, ACMA helps producers and processors maintain profitability during uncertain times.
Grain Marketing Plans: ACMA offers flexible grain marketing plans for producers and end users. These plans aim to achieve above-average prices for harvests while minimizing risks related to price fluctuations and weather impacts.
Financing Solutions: ACMA provides off-balance-sheet financing options, giving clients peace of mind and ensuring financial stability during challenging periods.
