Forward contracts

The price, locked in before you harvest.

Lock in the price with a real buyer months before harvest. You secure what they'll pay you; they secure that they'll have your produce. If the market rises, you share it; if it falls, you were already safe.

How it works

Three steps. Not one more.

No paperwork, no endless meetings. You agree, you sign and you deliver — everything logged and backed up.

STEP 01

You agree the price

With a real buyer from Lalonja. Quantity, quality, delivery date and price per kilo. Casti helps you compare it with what others are paying today.

STEP 02

Electronic signature

You both sign from your phone. It holds the same validity as a paper contract — and it's kept somewhere it won't get lost.

STEP 03

Settlement on delivery

When you deliver, the quantity and quality are checked against what was agreed. Invoice issued, clear due date, payment confirmed on screen.

Formats

Different ways to lock in the price.

Choose the format that fits your season. They all carry the same legal signature and the same traceability.

Simple forward

A fixed price per kilo. One delivery date. The classic formula for closing your season before it starts.

Forward with premium

A base price plus a premium if the market rises above an agreed level. You secure a floor and share the upside.

Forward in stages

Delivery is split across several shipments. Ideal for staggered harvests or to avoid concentrating the whole delivery on one day.

Traced from origin to delivery

From the signature to the delivery note, the full trace stays on record. If someone asks tomorrow, it's all one click away.

Signature with legal standing

Recognized electronic signature — the same one banks and government bodies use. Worth as much as signing on paper.

Clear settlement

Quantity weighed, quality checked, agreed deductions. No surprises on the invoice, no arguments afterward.

Why it matters

When the price is decided at harvest, someone else decides.

You reach the season with costs already spent — seed, water, treatments, wages. If the price collapses at the moment of selling, there's no turning back. Locking it in beforehand turns an uncertainty into a number you can plan around.

The bottom line

Planting is a gamble. It doesn't have to be a blind one.
