About Ettcetra International
Ettcetra International is the Global Grain & Commodities Trading Board — a public marketplace for firm grain and commodity offers and buyer requirements, run with the discipline of a private indenting desk.
Who we are
Ettcetra International is a global trading board in grains, pulses, softs, fertiliser, metals and petroleum products, operated by Ettcetra Inc. We bring two worlds together: a live, anonymous buy/sale board where exporters publish firm offers and importers post real requirements, and a staffed indenting desk that quotes, matches, documents and settles every deal end to end.
We exist because cross-border commodity trading still runs on fragmented emails, unverifiable brokers and offers that expire before they reach the buyer. Our board fixes that: offers carry seller-stated specifications — grade, origin, load port, packing, shipment window and validity — are reviewed and approved by the desk, and are priced firm. Nothing hypothetical is published as a price.
From the buyer's requirement to the proforma invoice, LC drafting, shipment tracking to discharge and final settlement, every stage is handled on one desk and visible to both sides.
How we operate
Anonymous by design
Buyers and sellers meet on the board without ever seeing each other's identity or contacts. Offers and requirements are matched by the desk under a code — identities stay with us until both sides want them known.
One desk, one price
Every enquiry is quoted by a person on the desk. You get one firm price on a clear incoterm, packing and payment basis — not a feed of loosely aggregated numbers.
Verified members only
Trading is limited to verified members with full company, contact and banking details on file. Verification keeps the board clean and the counterparty risk low.
Paid from the LC bank
Contracts settle against an irrevocable LC at sight. Our flat 1% service charge is deducted once, at settlement, from the LC bank proceeds — no listing fees, no retainers.
What we trade
Daily CFR reference levels and live seller offers across every sector on the board:
