Grain trade brokerage: Danube, Black Sea, Mediterranean

For sellers at origin

Producers, elevators and exporters on the Danube and the Black Sea coast get access to buyers we know and have traded with, at FOB, CPT or CIF levels that reflect the current market. We help with the contract, the shipping period and the logistics that make the two match.

For buyers

Importers, millers and feed producers in the Mediterranean receive offers from verified origin, with quality specifications, sampling and supervision arranged, and freight priced together with the goods whenever a delivered basis is required.

How the trade is documented

Contracts are concluded on GAFTA and FOSFA standard forms with the quality, quantity, payment and arbitration clauses the trade knows. Because chartering is our other desk, a FOB sale can be turned into a delivered sale with the freight fixed by the same team.

Goods and freight priced together

For delivered-basis contracts the chartering desk fixes the vessel while the trade is negotiated. The shipping period in the contract matches the actual river and port schedule.
