Commodity Finance is a specialized area of trade finance used for funding the production, transportation and sale of commodities. Commodity Finance provides primarily short-term financing facilities to a range of principals in the commodities business, including producers, commodity traders and major international trading operations, commodity importers and commodity exporters.

Commodity finance facilities may be secured or unsecured depending upon our assessment of the strength of the borrower and the structure and profitability of the underlying deal. Commodity finance is too broad a statement because there are really four different financings in the commodities lifecycle as illustrated in the table below.

Types of Commodities

Commodities are typically divided into four subcategories based on the nature of the product.

1. Mining and Metals
2. Oil and Gas
3. Soft Commodities
4. Livestock
