Traders and retailers want high quality and reliable supplies from the manufacturer or farmer, at the most competitive prices.

GabAgricLtd deploy all  the nine functions agribusiness marketing strategies, this is probably the one which people find least difficulty in associating with marketing. Indeed to many the terms marketing and selling are synonymous. Kotler7 suggests that: “Most firms practice the selling concept when they have over capacity. Their immediate aim is to sell what they can make rather than to make what they can sell.”

There is no denying that ‘high pressure selling’ is practiced,agri-world of market, where the interests of the consumer are far from foremost in the mind of the seller. This is not marketing. Enterprises adopt the marketing philosophy as a result of becoming aware that their own long term objectives can only be realised by consistently providing customer satisfaction.

For GabAgric Ltd marketing is about establishing and maintaining long term relationships with customers.Our approach is we market to produce.

GabAgric Ltd capacity to reduce intermediaries to manipulate margins at the expense of producers and consumers is a critical service delivery to farmer. The generation of buyer-oriented monopoly powerPrices for farm products rise and fall due to changes in the supply or demand fundamentals, real or perceived, for that product. Periods of tight supplies usually cause high or low prices. Farmers do not often have stored grain or marketable plans on hand at a time when the price is high or low.

Hedging, using futures contracts, is an alternative way to lock in prices in higher priced periods. What is a Hedging, by strict definition, is the act of taking opposite positions in the cash and futures markets. To understand what a hedge is, first recognize that there are 2 markets: the cash market is the physical market where farm production is actually bought and sold the commodity futures market is the paper market where futures contracts are bought and sold. This practice by GabAgric Ltd in a fragile market like Ghana commodities market give fairness.
