Everyone loves the idea of profit — but not many people understand what actually happens behind the scenes of a global commodity trade. At PCP LTD, we’re not selling dreams. We’re showing receipts.
So if you’ve ever asked, “What happens to my money once I contribute?” — this blog is for you. Here’s a step-by-step look at how sugar moves, how profit is created, and how you’re part of it.
Step 1: The Deal Is Locked In
We don’t start with theory. We start with a signed Letter of Intent (LOI) from a verified buyer. Right now, it’s a Chinese client purchasing 1.2 million metric tons of sugar at $420/ton.
We’ve already secured the supply from Brazil at $360/ton. That’s a $60 margin per ton, baked into the contract before a single shipment leaves port.
Step 2: The Funding Gets Secured
Before the sugar can move, we need to secure a Documentary Letter of Credit (DLC) — a banking instrument that protects both the buyer and seller.
That’s where your contribution comes in. By contributing £50 to £150, you help fund the cost of that DLC. Without it, the deal doesn’t happen.
Step 3: Sugar Is Purchased in Brazil
Once the DLC is active, the sugar is purchased directly from Brazilian suppliers. We deal in bulk — 100,000 metric tons per shipment — all documented and tracked.
This isn’t digital speculation. You can see the paperwork, the payment proof, the loading documents.
Step 4: It Ships to China
The sugar is loaded and shipped — with full tracking available. You’ll receive updates as it leaves Brazil, moves through port logistics, and arrives in China.
You’re not watching lines on a chart. You’re watching actual cargo cross continents.
Step 5: The Buyer Pays on Arrival
Once the shipment reaches China and passes inspection, the buyer pays. That’s when the profit is realized — $6 million per shipment, repeated over 12 cycles.
And if everything runs as expected, you’re eligible for a reward based on your contribution.
What You Get Along the Way
A legally binding contract
A Certificate of Participation
Regular trade updates and shipment tracking
Access to a transparent deal — start to finish
This is how global trade works — and you’re part of it.
We’ve stripped back the fluff and built a model anyone can follow. You’re not buying hype. You’re backing a real deal with real margins, real contracts, and real movement.
