Participating in Trading (Trade)

The Trade section is a trading platform where users can buy and sell agricultural products. You can create your own order (act as the proposal author) or participate in an existing order (act as an observer and make a counter-proposal).

The order author will receive a notification about your proposal. They can:

🔄 Order Types: Purchase vs Sale

🛍️ Purchase Order

What does this mean? The author wants to buy goods and specifies their requirements and price.

What can observer change in counter-proposal:

• 🌾 Quality Indicators — if you have goods with slightly different characteristics
• 💰 Price — you can offer a lower price if quality is somewhat different
• ⚖️ Volume — if you have less or more goods
• 📅 Delivery Period — if you can’t make the specified terms

💡 Example: Author wants to buy wheat with moisture up to 14.5%, but you have wheat at 15%. You can offer your goods at a slightly lower price as a counter-proposal.

🏷️ Sale Order

What does this mean? The author wants to sell goods and specifies the quality they have.

What can observer change in counter-proposal:

• 💰 Price — you can offer a lower price for trading
• ⚖️ Volume — if you want to buy less or more
• ❌ Quality Indicators — doesn’t make sense to change, since the seller already has goods with specific characteristics

⚠️ Logic: The seller already has goods with certain quality indicators. If the quality doesn’t suit you — simply don’t participate in this order. Changing quality in a counter-proposal doesn’t make sense, since the seller cannot change parameters of already existing goods.

💡 Tips and Possible Errors

Tips:

• ✓ Carefully read all order terms before clicking “Buy Now”
• ✓ Use counter-proposal if terms almost fit but need small changes
• ✓ Be realistic in counter-proposals — too low prices or unrealistic terms will be rejected
• ✓ Specify a comment in the counter-proposal to explain your logic to the author
• ✓ Monitor the response timer — if the author doesn’t respond on time, you’ll have to create a new proposal
