Mr Euan Mann

Director, Complete Commodity Solutions

Euan Mann has extensive experience in soft commodities, having worked and consulted for producers, merchants, end-users, and investors within the sector.

As an analyst at ED&F Man, he helped to establish coffee crop forecasting operations in Vietnam and Brazil, in addition to working with field teams based in the cocoa areas of West Africa. When ED&F Man bought Volcafe in 2003, Euan became the Senior Coffee Analyst for the combined group. In 2006, he moved to a more commercial role, helping to set up ED&F Man Derivatives Advisors (MDA), a financial services business offering options-based strategies to end-users and investors in the commodities sector.
In 2010, he founded Complete Commodity Solutions (CCS) to explore independent opportunities in soft commodities analysis. Initially, he was contracted exclusively to Cadbury Plc as Head of Global Commodity Analysis, advising on group hedging strategy.

Upon completion of this contract, CCS began to expand its client base to include commodity merchants, food producers, and commodity hedge funds. This breadth of experience gives him a unique perspective.

Euan is also a member of the ICCO Expert Working Group on Stocks, an observer at the ICO Statistics Committee, and regularly speaks at industry conferences. He has consulted as an expert to The World Bank and to the commodities division of the NYSE Liffe Commodities Exchange.
