FAQs

ZMX is an end-to-end commodities market place. The company is a Private Limited company registered under Zimbabwe’s New Companies Act [Chapter 24:31] of 2020. The company is structured as a joint venture between the Financial Securities Exchange (FINSEC) and the TSL Limited. We are there to bridge the gap between commodity buyers with sellers and commodity holders with finance by offering a platform that brings fair price discovery and convivence into trading, and pledging of commodities.

At ZMX we offer automation, warehouse receipts issuance and trading facilities to players within the agricultural value chain.

ZMX depends on a diverse group of participants, each of whom plays an important role in maintaining a fully functioning marketplace. The role of ZMX is to ensure that the rules are fair to all of these market participants:

  • Producers
  • Industrial End-Users
  • Traders
  • Speculators

ZMX simply creates a formalized process for the buying and selling of commodities and provide the following advantages:

  • Transparency and Efficiency – The process of price discovery allows market participants to see and trade off of prices instantly, creating more efficient markets.
  • Standardization – Since commodities exchanges standardize the features of contracts, market participants can compare prices on an equal basis.
  • Liquidity – Without ZMX, producers and suppliers would lack the liquidity to buy and sell raw goods. This would increase the volatility of commodities and create unnecessary price swings for everyday items.

The exchange-traded commodities (ETC) that are currently available on ZMX include selected grain, seed oils, tea and macadamia nuts. We will be adding more commodities in due cause.
