SOILAG. Trading

Services

Everything between the enquiry and the discharge port.

Trading is only the visible part. What determines whether a shipment works is the verification, documentation and logistics around it. These are the services we run, and you can take them together or separately.

01

Commodity sourcing

We identify and qualify supply at origin: producers, crushers, mills, cold stores and fertilizer terminals, matched to your specification rather than to whatever is available.

  • Origin and capacity mapping
  • Specification matching
  • Harvest and production calendars
  • Price basis benchmarking

02

International trading

We buy and sell on our own account and as intermediary, structuring price, quality tolerance and payment terms into a contract both sides can execute.

  • Spot and program contracts
  • GAFTA / FOSFA style clauses
  • LC, DP and advance payment structures
  • Quality and weight arbitration terms

03

Export coordination

Customs clearance at origin, port entry, load supervision and the full document set, prepared to the requirements of the destination country.

  • Customs and port formalities
  • Phytosanitary and health certificates
  • Certificate of origin and legalisations
  • Document presentation under LC

04

Supplier verification

Before a supplier ships under our name we check corporate standing, plant registrations, export track record and certifications, and we visit when the tonnage justifies it.

  • Corporate and tax standing
  • Plant and export registrations
  • Certifications: HACCP, BRC, ISO, GACC
  • Reference checks with prior buyers

05

FOB & CIF operations

We handle both sides of the delivery term: vessel nomination and laytime on FOB, freight and insurance on CIF, with demurrage exposure calculated before it happens.

  • Vessel nomination and laycan management
  • Laytime and demurrage calculation
  • Marine insurance placement
  • Load port supervision and sampling

06

Commercial representation

We act as the commercial arm in South America for buyers who need a presence at origin, and as the export desk for producers without an international team.

  • Origin representation for buyers
  • Export desk for producers
  • Market and price reporting
  • Negotiation on your mandate

07

International logistics

Inland trucking, port scheduling, stowage, container liners, reefer temperature regimes and transhipment, planned around the vessel and not the other way round.

  • Freight booking, bulk and container
  • Inland transport to port
  • Stowage and liner specification
  • Reefer temperature and cold chain control
