The problem

Fertilizer markets are complex, opaque, and risky. That's why we built ClearCost.

01

Trading in the dark

Fertilizer is a global commodity that trades over-the-counter. It deserves a venue with better lighting.

02

Priced by few

Fertilizer is priced to import parity by the few players who control the supply chain. Access must be open.

03

Margin on margin

Too many middlemen touch fertilizer before it reaches the farm. Each one marks it up.

What ClearCost does

A commodity trading, settlement and logistics platform for bulk fertilizer (dry and liquid, with anhydrous configuration underway for the US) on a regulated path to becoming a transparent commodity exchange.
