Are you concerned with the volatility in PRICES for almonds, walnuts and pistachios?
Over the last 12 months these commodities have decreased in value by 15-20% according to the USDA. Due to decreases, SCTC members have seen a rise in the abandonment of their international shipments.
To counter this, there has been a solution created to specifically address this issue – the CASH AGAINST DOCUMENTS (CAD) Provision.
What we have seen over the past 12 months is a 19% increase in the number of importers refusing shipments because of market fluctuations. The CAD Provision WILL PROTECT the exporter against the refusal of shipment because of pricing irregularities or financial insolvency from the importers abroad.
