Fyo

What Fyo does

Fyo (legal name Futuros y Opciones.com S.A.) is an Argentine regulated brokerage firm founded in 1999 and headquartered in Rosario, the country's primary grains hub. The company operates as an ALyC I Agro (Matrícula CNV N° 295) and ACyDI FCI (Matrícula CNV N° 114), giving it formal membership on MatbaRofex and access to CBOT for executing agricultural derivatives and clearing investment funds. It serves agricultural producers, traders, commodity investors, and barter operators (canjeadores) across Argentina.

Fyo's offering is structured as a nine-product ecosystem. Three core services — Inputs (Insumos), Exchange/Barter (Canjes), and Grain Commercialization (Comercialización) — are supported by six digital sub-products: fyodigital (unified client platform), fyoacopio (storage and logistics), fyocapital (financial advisory), fyocredits (digital financing), fyofoods (specialty product export), and fyoadvisory (strategic knowledge sharing). The platform operates on a 100% digital onboarding flow (Microsoft Azure B2C) and consolidates trading, financing, hedging, and advisory functions into a single interface.

The business model is transaction-fee-driven. Fyo earns commissions on agricultural futures (0.25% + VAT on MatbaRofex), fixed USD fees on options (USD 30/contract on MatbaRofex; USD 25/contract on CBOT), variable commissions on equities and Cedears (1.00% + VAT) and US securities (0.50% + VAT), and bid-offer spreads on caución collateral lending (1.50% lender / 4.50% borrower annual). The go-to-market is sales-led and direct, with content marketing (market reports, webinars, e-learning, strategy manuals) as the primary top-of-funnel lever. The company employs 101-250 people and is led by co-founder and CEO Alejandro Larosa.

Broad incumbents

• Cargill: Cargill is one of the largest global agricultural commodity traders with origination, processing, trading, and risk-management operations in Argentina and across Latin America. It competes with Fyo across commercialization, financing, and futures/options brokerage, though as part of a much broader global portfolio.
• Trafigura: Trafigura is a global commodities trader with significant South American operations in metals, energy, and agricultural products. It is a broad incumbent in commodity trading and financing, competing with Fyo in agricultural origination and risk management, though primarily through physical commodity flows rather than pure brokerage.
• Archer Daniels Midland (ADM): ADM is a global leader in agricultural origination, processing, and trading with deep South American operations. It competes with Fyo in grain commercialization and futures/options brokerage, but its scale, balance sheet, and global footprint extend well beyond Fyo's Argentine-focused offering.
• Bunge: Bunge is a global agribusiness and food company with major grain origination and oilseed processing operations in Argentina. It overlaps with Fyo in grain commercialization, farmer financing, and risk management but operates at materially larger scale across global markets.
• Louis Dreyfus Company: Louis Dreyfus Company is a global merchant and processor of agricultural commodities with significant Argentine grain and oilseed operations. It is a broad incumbent competitor in origination, financing, and risk management, offering comparable services to Fyo but at a global scale.

Direct peers

• ED&F Man: ED&F Man is a global agricultural commodity merchant and broker with active origination, financing, and risk-management operations in South America. Its integrated model of trading, financing, and advisory services closely mirrors Fyo's ecosystem offering, particularly in sugar, coffee, grains, and inputs.
• StoneX Group: StoneX (formerly INTL FCStone) is a US-listed global commodity brokerage and financial services firm with deep agricultural commodity trading, clearing, and financing operations across Latin America. It is the closest direct peer to Fyo's broker-plus-ecosystem model, operating across multiple exchanges and asset classes.

Regional players

• Balanz: Balanz is one of Argentina's largest independent brokers offering trading in equities, fixed income, futures, and options across local and international markets. It is a regional peer to Fyo's broker activities, though with a stronger focus on retail and institutional portfolio trading rather than agricultural specialization.
• Bull Market Brokers: Bull Market (BLD) is an Argentine retail and institutional broker offering equities, fixed income, CEDEARs, and futures trading through digital platforms. It competes with Fyo in the local brokerage market, particularly on the digital user experience, but lacks Fyo's agricultural specialization.

Emerging players

• Agrofy: Agrofy is an Argentine agricultural marketplace and agtech platform connecting producers with input suppliers, financing providers, and grain buyers. It is an emerging player that overlaps with Fyo's inputs and commercialization services and represents a potential digital-native challenger to the broker-led ecosystem model.
