Markets
IMCOPA is a company who seeks to add value to its products, searching for niche and specialty soybean markets. The term Commodity is used to designate products which are marketed in its raw stage, without any modification or improvement. These products are sold by many sellers with no differentiation between them. Usually, the commodities are sold in large quantities.
On the commodity world, where prices are alike as are the products, key element is quantity, since profits are proportional with volume. Knowing this, IMCOPA concentrated its efforts in niche markets, adding value to its products and to the company itself. These markets are:
