The Rice Exchange Formula Rice Exchange is the first digital global platform specifically designed to trade the world’s largest agricultural commodity, rice. Trading rice on the exchange removes unnecessary transaction costs and lowers other costs allowing for better service pricing and benefits for all parties - producers, sellers, buyers and services providers. The trading platform uses blockchain technology which modernises supply chains creating significant costs and time savings. It allows service providers like banks, insurance and shipping companies to reduce risk and offer more competitive quotes to rice market participants. Louis Dreyfus completed a trade of 60,000 tonnes of soybeans between the US and China using blockchain technology in January 2018 - processing time was cut to one fifth of the time taken for a paper-based trade. Users of Rice Exchange will benefit from increased transparency, liquidity, security, higher frequency of trades and lower costs for insurance, shipping and inspection services. The Rice Exchange team have expertise in technology, rice trading and financial services. We know the rice trade inside out and we have built the trading platform to provide ease-of-use, security and competitive economics. Our business development representatives are based in Asia, Africa and Latin America. We are seeing significant interest in the benefits of Rice Exchange platform and anticipate rapid adoption of the platform. Rice Exchange is headquartered in Switzerland.
