Opportunities In Commodity

A trip to Indonesia gave me an insight of the agriculture in Indonesia. Commodity prices have been rising steadily in many parts of the world. I believe many Singaporeans felt the same way. An acquaintance with Dr Ta had led me to this opportunity. I look forward to more of such opportunities in the near future.
