FGDI is an affiliated company that specializes in cash grain merchandising.  Its primary function is to facilitate the movement of available commodities from an originator to fill the demand of an end-user.  FGDI’s services help elevators and grain marketers maximize the value of their grain; we locate domestic and international buyers and assist the originator in retaining ownership and margins as far into the marketing pipeline as possible.  This consistently offers value-added opportunities for our customers to merchandise their inventories outside of the terminal system.

For the end-users, processors and exporters, FGDI provides a dedicated an efficient method of finding or assembling the grain they require.  The group also assures consistent delivery to match buyers’ needs.

Because FGDI works closely with a wide range of customers on both sides of the supply/demand equation, we are able to regularly link customers in mutually beneficial transactions.  This helps establish regular, long-term relationships between origination and consumer-based customers.
