GAFTA разработала стандартные формы контрактов, которые используют все участники торговых операций зерновыми и кормами. Эти контракты понятные и приемлемы во всем мире.
Более 80% мировой торговли зерном осуществляется с использованием стандартных форм контрактов GAFTA.
Международный Контрактный Комитет GAFTA рассматривает все вопросы, касающиеся стандартных форм контрактов GAFTA, и принимает решение о необходимости внесения изменений в соответствии с новыми тенденциями в международной торговле.
Члены GAFTA могут войти в состав Контрактного Комитета GAFTA.
Наша цель состоит в том, чтобы контракты соответствовали текущей торговой практике.
Уважаемые члены GAFTA, мы хотели бы обратить ваше внимание на важные изменения, которые были внесены в ряд контрактов, в том числе в Контракт 78UA
