About risk management

International commodity traders face a large number of risks as they navigate volatile markets. Harvest Group identifies and manages these risks to ensure stability as it grows its business. Diversifying our portfolio of operations, limited risk taking, and risk / return analysis are the core parts of our decision-making process.

To reduce risk, an organization needs to apply resources to minimize, monitor and control the impact of negative events while maximizing positive events. A consistent, systemic and integrated approach to risk management can help determine how best to identify, manage and mitigate significant risks.
