Don’t Settle for Gold: Balance Your Portfolio with Real-World Assets

If you prefer gold as a safe haven, adding a real-asset–backed agricultural commodity basket to your portfolio provides diversification and can offer higher return potential than gold through short- to mid-term price windows tied to the harvest calendar. Coimex’s Exim Token project purchases physical commodities from farmers, tokenizes them, and turns them into a transparent, easily accessible marketplace open to small tickets.

Is every agricultural product a commodity?

No. For an agricultural product to be considered a commodity, it must be standardized so that batches in the same grade are interchangeable, it must be easy to store and transport, and it must have a reference price formed by regular trading in global markets. Therefore, very perishable products like strawberries or lettuce are generally not commodities, while wheat, corn, soybeans, sunflower, coffee, cocoa, cotton, and sugar are typical agricultural commodities.

Why Should You Consider Investing in Agricultural Commodities?

1. Volatility balance: Compared with crypto and single stocks, volatility is generally lower to moderate; still, remember prices can swing with weather, harvest and policy news.
2. Real asset backing: Behind the price are physical stocks, quality standards, and tangible supply–demand dynamics.
3. Fundamentals-driven pricing: Not entirely free of speculation; however, seasonality, stocks and logistics are the dominant drivers of price moves.
4. Inflation hedge: Can offer real protection against food inflation and FX effects, helping support purchasing power over the long run.
5. Diversification effect: Added alongside gold, it draws on different cycles, spreading overall risk and strengthening portfolio balance.
6. Seasonal opportunities: Harvest and demand cycles can open 2–6 month trading windows; depending on product and season, there is potential for double-digit, even near-100% USD-based returns in some periods—not guaranteed and timing-dependent.

How does Coimex tokenize agricultural commodities?

With 25+ years of agriculture and commodity experience, Coimex buys products from farmers at favorable prices during harvest and seals them for secure storage in state-licensed warehouses. In all our commodity tokens the ratio is clear: 1 token = 1 kilogram of product (e.g., 1 WATS = 1 kg of watermelon seeds). Each lot is tokenized on-chain via audited smart contracts and opened for everyone to buy and sell in small amounts on the Exim Token site’s simple marketplace. In the past, individual investors needed licenses, legal entities, and exchange memberships to access commodities; Coimex removes these barriers: it’s as simple as “connect your wallet → choose → buy.” Thus, investment in agricultural commodities becomes real-asset-backed, transparent, accessible, and democratized.

Commodity Basket: Split the Risk, Balance the Returns

To date, Coimex has tokenized five products: SUNS sunflower seeds, APRI dried apricots, NUTP in-shell peanuts, CAJU cashews, WATS watermelon seeds; new commodities are also on the roadmap. Rather than concentrating on a single product, building a basket from these five spreads risk by balancing different harvest and demand/export cycles; a drawdown in one can be offset by another. The healthiest approach is to track each product’s season and proceed with laddered buy–sell (staggered entries–exits).

Real Success Stories from Our Investors

The three mini cases below show how the “buy at harvest lows – sell gradually in season” discipline can lead to tangible outcomes:

• SUNS (Sunflower Seeds): In the 2025 harvest, an investor who bought the dip realized a USD-based gain of 40% in just two weeks, then rotated to buy another commodity at its harvest-time low.
• APRI (Dried Apricot) hedge: While EXIM Token was trading relatively high on the exchange, the investor spotted a harvest-dip opportunity and bought APRI on the marketplace with EXIM; when a frost in Türkiye in spring 2026 pushed APRI up by about 70%, the investor took advantage of EXIM’s lower price at the time and closed the APRI sale at a result equivalent to ~12x measured in EXIM.
• WATS (Watermelon Seeds): In the 2025 season, the investor who bought watermelon seeds at a harvest-time low in July achieved a 20% USD-based gain in two months; in the same period gold stayed around 9%, so WATS delivered roughly 2× gold’s performance.

These examples show that with seasonal cycles and disciplined position management, rational profit windows can be captured. For more real cases and charts, we invite you to the EXIM Token Telegram community.
