The Delivery Process

The delivery process for all commodities extends over three business days. This cycle is repeated for each delivery day in the delivery month, until the last delivery day. One key distinction among the major agricultural products traded at the CBOT is that corn and soybean futures contractual obligations can be met with the delivery of shipping certificates, unlike other grain products, which have a delivery system that is based on warehouse receipts.
