Job description

About Us

COFCO is a global agri-business that employs around 11,000 people in 35 countries. Our UK operations are active at every stage of the grains and oilseeds supply chain, purchasing all types and grades of combinable crops from farmers across the UK. The company markets and distributes these to a growing customer-base in the food, feed and bioenergy sectors at home and abroad.

The Role

We now have an exciting opening for a Trainee Farm Trader to join our expanding team, based at our office in Ipswich.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has no previous farm trading experience to join the business and start building their career in this industry. The ideal candidate will spend their first few months in a rotation through other departments to gain foundation knowledge of how they work and how this fits into the business overall. They will then join the Farm Trading team and will be mentored and coached as they learn and develop into the role.

The main purpose and responsibilities of the role will include:

  • Purchasing grain, pulses and oilseeds from farms and selling seed fertiliser and other crop products.
  • Working with the rest of the team to identify prospective customers, promote the benefit of trading with COFCO UK, and open new accounts.
  • To ensure that accounts are paid within terms agreed, and customer credit is controlled.
  • To undertake on farm grain sampling and assist with the overall organisation of this.
  • To assist the Team by handling queries, data entry including contracts and information to support the CRM system.
  • To ensure the maintenance of an effective working knowledge of all crops/commodities traded, and of seed/fertiliser and other crop products sold.

No previous experience in this field is required, however some understanding of the agricultural industry would be beneficial but not essential. The role would suit someone who is confident and enjoys engaging with new people and building relationships.
