Brazil to the World.
Physical, Since 1981.
BS Agrícola intermediates physical agricultural commodities out of Brazil and fertilisers into it. Setti Group handles counterparty review, structure and the Gulf side of the conversation.
Where the Numbers Are Today.
Futures are previous-day settlements from CME/ICE, with the change against the prior session. Fertiliser benchmarks are World Bank monthly averages, with the change against the prior month. Prices can be shown in USD, BRL, EUR or AED using the panel’s own FX rates; changes are always measured in USD. None of this is an offer or advice.

Two Directions, One Desk.
Out of Brazil
Agricultural origination from Brazilian producers and cooperatives for buyers in the Gulf, North Africa and Asia. Specification, sampling and logistics agreed before a single tonne moves.
Into Brazil
Fertiliser sourcing for the Brazilian market (urea first, then phosphates and potash) from Middle East and North African producers, with counterparty review on both ends.
Structure
FOB, CFR and CIF. LC at sight or confirmed; escrow on first trades.
Counterparties
KYC on both sides before quoting. We walk away from deals that do not pass it.
Our role
Intermediation and structure. We are not the producer and we are not the ship.
Five Steps. No Shortcuts.
Most physical deals that fail, fail at step two. We would rather lose a trade than skip it.
