Soft commodities, or simple called as softs, are agriculture and farm produce that include cocoa, corn, coffee, sugar, soybean, wheat, fruits like oranges and even livestock. In general, anything which is grown, instead of being mined from the earth, is called a soft produce or a soft commodity. Investors often like to explore new avenues of investments and the segment of softs has gained popularity as an investment class. A good number of financial products are available in the market which allow exposure for trading and investing in individual soft commodities, or in a mixed basket of softs. For instance, advanced and complex financial products like futures and options are available for trading on products like coffee, orange and wheat. Similarly, there are mutual funds which allow exposure to such agriculture produce as an asset category.
