What moves, and in which direction
Buy side into East Africa. Sell side out of it.
Our trade and commodity brokerage runs in both directions, and the documentary requirements differ sharply between them.
Buy side — into East Africa
- Construction materials
- Machinery and plant
- Food staples — rice, sugar, wheat flour, edible oil
- Fuel and lubricants
- Vehicles and spare parts
- Solar and power equipment
- Pharmaceuticals and medical consumables
- FMCG and general merchandise
Sell side — out of East Africa
- Livestock and chilled meat
- Frankincense, myrrh and natural gums
- Sesame and oilseeds
- Coffee
- Hides and skins
- Fish and marine products
- Minerals and aggregates
- Horticulture
We work to the documentary requirements of the destination market, not only the origin market. In our experience that single difference is the most common cause of delay — and most of the shipments we are asked to rescue are held up by paperwork, not by anything physical.
