Commodity Trading

Connecting African production to global markets

A planned international trading desk building long-term supply relationships — not speculation.

The Trading Desk

A relationship-led trading desk, in development

Our commodity trading division is being established to connect African origination with reliable buyers across the Gulf, Asia, Europe and the rest of Africa. We see strong long-term demand from Gulf markets, driven by their focus on food security and the established shipping routes between Southern Africa and the Middle East. The desk will focus on long-term supply agreements, market intelligence and disciplined risk management.
