Common questions
Before you ask.
What people most often want to know before working with us.
What commodities do you source?
+
Three families: energy (crude oil, PMS, AGO, Jet A1, LPG), agricultural commodities (cocoa, cashew, shea, grains), and general industrial goods (machinery, equipment, raw materials, bulk consumables). If a counterparty can be verified, we will look at it.
Do you work with international buyers, Ghanaian buyers, or both?
+
All three flows. We help international buyers source Ghanaian commodities for export, Ghanaian businesses procure goods and equipment from abroad, and Ghanaian businesses source from local suppliers without paying middleman tax.
What are typical minimum order quantities?
+
MOQs depend on the commodity and route. Energy cargoes typically move in full lots (2,000 MT and up for refined products, full vessel parcels for crude). Agricultural commodities start from container loads (around 20 MT). General goods are flexible, from one container to full project shipments.
What Incoterms and payment terms do you support?
+
FOB, CIF, CFR and DAP are standard. Payment is typically by irrevocable documentary letter of credit (SBLC or DLC) for energy and large agro deals, and T/T or escrow for smaller transactions. We adapt to what your bank and counterparty can support.
How do you vet suppliers and buyers?
+
Every counterparty is checked for company registration, references, proof of product (POP) or proof of funds (POF), and track record before we move to contract. We walk away from any deal we cannot verify. Protecting our clients is the whole job.
How long does a typical sourcing deal take?
+
Local Ghana sourcing usually closes in days to a few weeks. International procurement runs 4 to 10 weeks depending on lead time and freight. Energy and large commodity contracts run on their own timelines, tied to nomination, inspection and vessel slots.
