Here at Ag Astra, we firmly believe agriculture is the place to be, and the commodity markets- which include corn, wheat, soybeans, and others, create unparalleled opportunities for years to come.
Factors like increasing population, protein demand, inflation, currency manipulation, geopolitical uncertainties, technology, and genetics impact the value of our food. However, no industry is as impacted by the increasingly unstable and unpredictable global climate as the domestic grain markets.
Approximately 1.2% of the world's land produces 60% of the world's corn major exportable free trade bushels. That same 1.2% produces 85% of the world's soybeans major exportable free trade bushels respectively.
This production is highly concentrated in two places- the United States and South America. Therefore, our grain production is highly susceptible to extreme weather variations which have become increasingly common.
