A new era in grain marketing / revolutionizing how farmers execute their grain marketing decision, Skudu Match is a FREE App that runs on a cash market. Selling and buying take only four easy steps.
1. The First Step is to create Scouts: This is where you will list your location and planned crop, and buyers list their location and desired produce to purchase. Skudu Match will then create an algorithm that permanently matches your scout to a nationwide network of eligible buyers who need your produce.
2. The Second Step is to create a Lot: Here you will provide the market with the finer details and specifics about your harvest and exchange. To create a Lot, you will be required to tell the market about the 5 Ps and 2 Qs. They are for example:
Product: Yellow Maize, wheat, or soya beans etc)
Position of availability: Ex silo, Bultfontein
Period of availability: 1 July 2021 to 31 July 2021
Price: R per ton of R per basis.
Payment terms: Payment after proof of payment
Quality: YM1
Quantity: 200 Metric tons
Skudu will then use this data to create algorithms that match the timing between Farmer and Buyer.
3. The Third Step is Negotiation: Once matched to prospects, you will be required to negotiate the 5 P’s and 2 Q’s until you have a perfect Skudu Match. Only then will you and the buyer reveal identities to each other.
4. The Last Step is where you and the buyer sign a contract.
