About
We aspire to become an integrated supply chain providers of agricultural products and food ingredients. Currently we source products from 19 countries. Our products includes:
- Edible nuts, spices and grains;
- Food staples; and
- Cocoa / Coffee
We supply our products to over 150 customers in more than 9 countries.
We follow proven and flexible business model in food distribution which enables us to achieve rapid, cost effective and profitable growth.
Our business is to move food products from place where they are in excess availability to places where it is required.
Business Strategies
Our profitability is driven primarily by growth in underlying traded volumes and also by the extent to which we are able to charge a premium for value-added services and realise cost savings at various stages of the supply chain.
We do not consider ourselves to be a directional, positional, proprietary or speculative commodity trader and therefore seek to take positions in products with the sole objective of meeting our customers’ demands.
We do not take positions based on our view of the direction or size of commodity price movements. We also do not take positions in the financial or commodity markets unless they are backed by underlying physical transactions.
Profile
We are intermediaries in the overall value chain of food distribution where we find ourselves sourcing from selected areas and visiting places where it is needed. We source from aggregators/processors and supply to food companies or regional traders.
