About ClearCost

Our mission is to build the standard, trusted fertilizer trading process.

ClearCost returns price information, payment control and market power to farmers.

Our story

Why we started ClearCost

We started ClearCost with one goal: to shine a light on the darkness in fertilizer markets.

We strive to provide agribusinesses with a trustworthy fertilizer trading experience. One that derisks the purchasing decisions made at both farm and dealer businesses. Ultimately lowering the risk premium both parties pay for trading in an over-the-counter market.

To help farm and dealer businesses lower their trading risk, ClearCost provides software, data, and services that securely connect the industry with timely, accurate information. We're building an accessible single source of truth in fertilizer.

What we stand for

Our golden rule: if it doesn't create value for farms, we don't do it.

Autonomy. Honesty. Transparency.
