- Grower Floor Price Contract: The 2022-Season Grower Floor Price Contract (GFPC) came close to the fill level of $450/tonne gross actual during the recent market spike. The GFPC enables growers to lock in a known return, while also receiving 50 cents in the dollar for any subsequent market moves above their achieved GFPC target. Orders can be placed for as little as 10 tonnes, up to three seasons in advance.
