Storage & Hedging Solutions

At 52W, we see grain storage not just as infrastructure — but as a strategic shield for producers and a profitable investment for the future of agribusiness.

In Brazil today, over 35% of soybean and corn production lacks proper storage infrastructure, leaving farmers exposed to low harvest prices, logistical bottlenecks, and dependency on third-party silos.

That’s why we work alongside investment funds, cooperatives, and producer groups to design and implement customized storage projects that:

• Protect farmers from market timing risks
   
• Allow sales at the right moment, not under pressure
   
• Optimize logistics and freight costs
   
• Increase farm autonomy and bargaining power
   

Our support goes beyond infrastructure. We provide:

• Feasibility analysis and strategic planning
   
• Financial structuring and ROI modeling
   
• Technical design and implementation support
   
• Integration with commercialization strategies
   

But protecting agribusiness also means defending against financial volatility. At 52W, we offer technical and customized hedging strategies to shield producers, cooperatives, and food companies from the uncertainty of commodity markets — particularly in grains, proteins, and inputs.

Through a structured and consultative approach, we help our clients:

• Stabilize margins in volatile price environments
   
• Secure minimum price levels for their production or purchases
   
• Manage currency exposure in import/export operations
   
• Integrate hedge strategy with physical trading and cash flow
   

Instruments and Services:

• Futures contracts on B3 and CME (soybeans, corn, live cattle)
   
• Options strategies (puts, calls, and zero-cost collars)
   
• Over-the-counter (OTC) structured products
   
• Swap agreements for currency or price indexing
   
• Advisory in hedge accounting and operational execution
   

Our role is to translate market complexity into security — ensuring that every financial and operational decision has a clear purpose, a defined limit of risk, and a direct link to the client’s business reality.

Whether in infrastructure or financial strategy, 52W delivers market intelligence, discipline, and transparency to help producers, traders, and buyers navigate uncertainty with confidence and precision.
