Central Japan Commodity Exchange

Central Japan Commodity Exchange (C-COM) was a futures exchange based in Nagoya, Japan that closed in 2011.

History
The exchange was established 1 October 1996 from the merger of the Toyohashi Dry Cocoon Exchange, the Nagoya Grain and Sugar Exchange and the Nagoya Textile Exchange, all three based in the Aichi prefecture, central Japan. Effective 1 January 2007 C-COM merged into the Osaka Mercantile Exchange. In 2010 the Japanese government amended the law governing the commodity futures industry, prohibiting unwanted solicitation. This caused increasing difficulty for C-COM and in January 2011 it ceased operation altogether.

 * Eggs – cash settled
