Market Access

Senwes Market Access is housed within the Grainlink division, offering comprehensive marketing and procurement solutions to both grain producers and buyers.

Our market access team works closely with the Grainlink silo operations team and Grainovation to provide tailored solutions to our clients throughout the entire grain value chain, from the farm to the mill.

In addition, we keep you informed about the weather conditions and provide silo contact details and locations, as well as handling and storage rates at various silos. You can also expect daily and weekly market information, including import and export data, SAGIS-updates, and our Senwes weekly market information recap.

 
Basislink

Basislink is an online platform that provides registered buyers with transparent access to all grain sold by Senwes. This information is offered per commodity on a physical and pre-season basis at all registered silos within the Senwes service area.

As a grain owner, you can benefit from our Basislink platform, which provides transparent access to the market for selling your grain on a spot or forward basis, or even a year storage option. This platform caters to various soft commodities including maize, oilseeds, and wheat. Additionally, our direct procurement process with farmers offers market-related premiums.

How does Basislink work?

To access the system, buyers must first register on MySenwes and apply for a Basislink buyer number. Once the registration process is complete, customers can view premiums at the relevant silos where they wish to buy grain via the internet at their convenience. All Basislink users can view what other buyers in the market are willing to pay for grain without exposing other interested buyers. This allows buyers to adjust their premiums depending on the demand for grain at the relevant silo.

The Basislink platform is active from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 12:00.

Senwes Grainlink provides a fast, secure and cost-efficient platform for managing silo certificates.

ESC also offers a telephonic trading facility for grain owners without internet access. Registration for this service is free and can be applied for on the ESC-website. The confidentiality and management of the system are guaranteed, offering complete assurance to users.
