Training
Courses for companies on risk
management and hedging tools.
Given the excellent experience gained in the last years, at AESTIVUM we receive more and more requests for tailored training for buying and/or sales teams of companies in the agri-food sector.
In an environment of growing complexity, where the local market is increasingly influenced by the global market, as well as by the movement of commodity exchanges and macroeconomic factors, it’s important to know how markets work:
- How prices are calculated.
- Which grain flows move in the world and which of these arrive in Spain.
- Our import quota and tariff system.
- The hedging tools (futures and options) available for mitigating the risk of price variations.
For specific courses, we work with renowned national and international experts with a great reputation as trainers, to offer high quality learning.
Why choose
our courses?
Practical exercises and real cases
Whether you are a dealer, an agent, a buyer for industry, or a salesperson for an agricultural cooperative, at AESTIVUM we always adopt a practical approach, with exercises and real cases.
Adaptability
to the client’s operation
We adapt the training to the operations, areas, and grains of each client. Moreover, we offer flexibility in organization, communication, schedules, and travel.

in market operations
Unlike other consultants in the sector, at AESTIVUM we have operated in the market for many years and we know first-hand the challenges and costs involved in buying, selling, transporting, and importing goods.
