Product sourcing

Anything but coffee, sourced to spec.

Tell the trade desk what you need. We turn the request into a written request, confirm availability and capability with suppliers, and answer with a confirmed scope in writing. An offer follows only once what is written can be honoured.

  • SpecificationGrade, cleanliness, packing. Formal spec sheets can follow.
  • QuantityContainers or tonnes; an honest range is welcome.
  • DestinationPort and any arrival rules the goods must meet.
  • TimingThe shipping window, and how much it can move.

Where requests begin

Three doors to us.

Coffee has its own specialist pages. Everything else starts with the same request, grouped into three categories.

Category

Food & agricultural goods

Oilseeds, pulses, spices and seasonal produce, sourced to specification and shipped with the right certificates.

See the category

Category

Materials & industrial goods

Stone, leather, timber and construction materials, quoted when the specification and volumes are firm.

See the category

Category

Packaged goods

Retail-ready foods and private-label packing, coordinated from artwork approval to container loading.

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.
