A sales plan, not a hunch

Tranches matched to real Euronext expiries

Each sale is tied to an actual futures contract (EBM, EMA, ECO), not an arbitrary date.

Built-in market signal

The tranche pace speeds up or slows down automatically based on market tension (fund positioning, USDA).

Quantified gain vs a single sale

Compare your staggered plan to a single sale at harvest to see the impact on your revenue.

A concrete example

On 400 tonnes of wheat, a sales plan staggered across the 2025-26 marketing year generated +€1,540 more revenue than a single full sale at harvest, at identical costs and basis.

Frequently asked questions

When should I sell my wheat?

There is no single optimal date: the right schedule depends on the costs you need to cover, the market signal (fund positioning, USDA) and your risk tolerance. The calculator proposes a tranche pace that speeds up when the signal is bearish and slows down when it's bullish.

How do I set a target price?

The target price is the farm-gate price (Euronext quote + local basis) below which you don't want to sell. It's used as a reference to measure the gap between the current market and your profitability or ambition threshold.

What is the (local) basis?

The basis is the gap, in €/t, between the Euronext price (EBM for wheat) and the price actually paid at the farm gate by your grain merchant or elevator. It depends on your region and local logistics, and is usually negative.

How much should I sell before harvest?

The calculator caps pre-harvest sales at 30% of total volume by default (adjustable up to 50%), to cover your most urgent costs without over-exposing a volume you haven't harvested yet.
