JR Commodities was founded in 2022 by Cristian Jensen and Matias Ranea Arias, due to the need of our clients to have excellent service in the sales and purchase process.
Cristian grew up around foreign trade and grains, since his father Tage was one of the first employees of Cargill Argentina where he worked in the development of the company for more than 30 years. He officially started his career in 1995, precisely with his father, where he decided to add the brokerage area in his father's firm, Servimpex SRL. For about 2 years he focused on the brokerage of specialties and organic products, and in 1998 he joined Ecorfarmers S.A., one of the first exporters of organic cereals and oilseeds in Argentina. In the early 2000's Cristian considered that it was time to explore the conventional market, so he started working for Compañía Mercantil Agrosud. During the long period he worked in that company he was fortunate to participate in different business divisions. Regional trade to Uruguay and Chile of cereals and oilseeds, bottled oils,refined oils, rice and specialties and since 2011, together with Matias, he focused on the development of a new business division, which was the export of cereals, oilseeds and by-products in containers from different origins in America to Asia, mostly. It was precisely during this development where some of his clients asked for help in the origination of organic products, where he worked not only in the commercial origination but also in the logistics to carry out this business in volume. That is how with the creation of JR Commodities everything returned to its origins, he returned to work with organic products with his own company, to which the experience gathered all these years has allowed him and Matias to add the wide range of products that JRC has today.
Cristian has been happily married to Romina for more than 25 years and they have 3 children. Tomás, who is now also part of JRC; Delfina, a future veterinarian with a passion for horses and Pilar, the youngest of the family who is only 16 years old and part of the Argentine Paralympic Rowing Team.
Matias, on the other hand, grew up in the agricultural world from a very young age alongside his father Julio, who is an agricultural engineer specialized in animal nutrition. Once he finished school, he moved to Buenos Aires where he soon started his experience in the world of trading and foreign commerce. His first steps began in the early stages of the company Biomac in 2003, where he worked for almost 4 years in the export of organic frozen fruit to the markets of the United States, Europe and China. In 2007 he moved to Ingenio Tabacal (Seaboard Corporation) to develop himself, first in the citrus area and then continue his experience in the world of sugar exports.
In 2011 he met Cristian, who invited him to join the team at Agrosud for the development of grains, oilseeds and by-products in containers, a business that, thanks to the constant growth and the wide support of suppliers and buyers, impulsed the creation of JR Commodities. Matias is married to Milagros, who grew up in his family's fields, and together they have two young daughters, Ignacia and Jacinta, who inherited from their parents and grandparents their passion for farming.
