MK Merchants SA became a trade member of the International Grain and Feed Trade Association GAFTA. The corresponding certificate was issued to the company on August 5 this year.
The importance of membership in this Association is that all its members conduct their activities in accordance with the uniform rules and principles of professional practice and ethics of international trade in grain and feed.
80 % of the world's grain and feed trade is done using GAFTA standard contract forms. This makes it possible to reduce risks and claims during international transactions.
1. Public tenders
By participating in import tenders held by the Turkish Grain Board every year in the last quarter and first quarter, we import grain products from abroad, primarily from our own business partners, and sell them to the government as CIF.
2. Domestic sales
By bringing together our customers who demand imported products and our suppliers, we act as an intermediary on grain products and sell the products they demand to our customers in the form of CIF.
We deliver grain products that we import from warehouses in Turkey by vessels to our customers who want to nationalize their own products or send them to overseas customers.
By importing, we deliver our nationalized products in Turkey to our customers in bulk/container form by ship or in sacks/bulk form via trucks or in designated warehouses.
3. Overseas Sales
We bring our overseas suppliers together with our overseas customers. At this stage, we can sell our grain products in containers or in bulk, depending on the customer's preference.
We transfer our products in warehouses to our overseas customers via ships. In the meantime, if requested, the transition from bulk to container or bagging services is offered.
