Season and availability
We confirm who can actually supply the volume in your window, at the grade your specification names, before anything is promised. When a season is short, the request says so early.
Category · food & agricultural goods
Sesame, pulses and oilseeds.
Oilseeds, pulses, spices and produce move with harvests and licences, so this category is run the same way as everything else at Adey: your request in, a confirmed scope out, certificates with the order. No standing stock list, no pretending a harvest window stays open.

What we coordinate
Four things we check before quoting.
Harvest windows close and certificates take time. We confirm the harvest window and the certificates before we quote, not after you have committed.
Suppliers and licences
Suppliers must hold the licences the goods and the destination require. We check this before the scope is confirmed, so the papers exist before the buyer asks for them.
Inspection before loading
Grade, moisture and packing are checked against the specification before the container is stuffed, and the result is written into the file.
Certificates and permits
Phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin and quality documents are prepared with the order and completed before departure — never chased at the port.
Right now
It is September. One crop is still shipping.
Agricultural goods do not sit on a shelf. Each crop has a harvest and a window in which we can actually load it, and outside that window no price is honest. This is where the five we handle most stand today.
Example requests
Three real requests.
Three examples, written the way we like to receive them. Use one as a starting point and change the facts.
Sesame oil, refined
One tank load, roughly 20 tonnes, refined for retail bottling, to Genoa. Loading within eight weeks of quotation acceptance.
White navy beans
Two containers, machine-cleaned, to Mumbai. Certificates of analysis per lot; discharge port rules checked with the request.
Black cumin, cleaned
One container to Dubai, cleaned and bagged to a stated mesh size. Phytosanitary certificate required at arrival.

Looking for coffee?
Coffee works differently. We own the Bensa washing station in Sidama and lease Hambela in Guji, and we mill in Akaki Kality — so we hold the coffee ourselves. You can see current lots with their score, origin and paperwork instead of waiting for us to go and find them.
