Asking for it

Say it once, in full.

“19,200 kg of washed Ethiopian Arabica, Grade 2 — organic, Fairtrade, single origin, EUDR-ready — delivered November to January.”

Every part of that sentence is a field on the request form. Suppliers answer it line by line, so what comes back to you already fits.

Fill in as much or as little as you like — a commodity and a volume is enough to start.

Commodity: Arabica Coffee — one of 4 in the coffee family
Form: Green bean — green, unroasted
Processing: Washed (fully washed) — one of 7 for this crop
Grade: Ethiopia Grade 2 — the Ethiopian ladder, with its measured thresholds
Origin: Ethiopia · Uganda · Rwanda
Volume: 19,200 kg — delivered November 2026 to January 2027
Must carry: OrganicFairtradeSingle originEUDR ready

Change a line and the matching changes with it — narrow the grade, add a certification, widen the delivery window, and a different set of suppliers is looking at your request.

Certifications and claims

Organic, Fairtrade, EUDR — and single origin, which works differently.

Ask a shipment to carry any of these and suppliers answer against it. Most are certificates somebody holds, with an issuing body and an expiry date we track for you.

Certificates

Organic · Fairtrade · Rainforest Alliance · UTZ · GlobalGAP · GRASP · RSPO · MPS · HACCP

Regulatory regimes

EUDR Ready · OECD due diligence · EU Conflict Minerals · Dodd-Frank §1502 · LBMA Responsible Gold

Programmes

GCP-recognised · Cocoa Horizons · Cacao-Trace · ETP · EATTA

Chain claim

Single origin is different: no one issues it and no one holds it. We read it off the shipment itself — the plots it was grown on, the deliveries, the batches, the lot that went in the container. If they all trace back to one origin, it holds.

What sets us apart

What we check, so you don’t have to.

We work with governments, suppliers, independent inspectors and lenders at origin, so the things you would otherwise take on trust arrive already checked.

Supply data backed by governments

We cross-check supply figures against national records, export data, and seasonal production numbers, through partnerships with trade and agriculture ministries in the markets we work in.

Profiles built on real performance

Supplier profiles are built from verified trade data: orders completed, volumes delivered, quality ratings from independent inspectors, on-time delivery, and how disputes turned out. Track records are earned, not self-declared.

Independent quality inspection

Inspectors are trained to international grading standards and assigned automatically at each stage of the contract. Every certificate is specific to the commodity, digitally signed, and stored permanently.

Finance when you need it

Suppliers can apply for finance against confirmed orders. Applications draw on verified trading history, farmer network size, and inspection records — helping partner lenders make faster decisions.

Mineral traceability

For minerals, a full trail from mine to export. Tag numbers, independent lab results, responsible-sourcing records, and EU conflict-minerals paperwork, all in one checkable trail.

Market insights

Seasonal harvest calendars, weather updates, rule changes, export restriction notices, and benchmark price moves — all put in the context of each origin market.

Standards library

International and national grading standards, all in one searchable place.

ICO for coffee, UNECE for fresh produce, Codex Alimentarius for food safety, EAS for East African trade. They're used directly in contracts, inspection checklists, and quality details, and kept up to date with national standards bodies.

What we cover

Two sectors. One trusted platform.

Agricultural commodities

Coffee, sesame, cocoa, tea, vanilla, pulses, oilseeds, fresh produce, dried fruits, spices, and grains. Graded to ICO, SCA, UNECE, and Codex standards, with plant-health certificates handled alongside national agriculture ministries — from gathering smallholder supply all the way to container export.

Agricultural commodities

Minerals and metals

Tin, tantalum, tungsten, gold, cobalt, copper, coltan, manganese, and lithium. LME benchmark pricing, independent lab testing, and registered mine sites checked as conflict-free — with a full trail from mine to export and responsible-sourcing records.

Mineral commodities

Compliance made easy

Ready for audit, across more than 30 rules.

One place for every rule, every document, and every check. EUDR deforestation maps, compliance documents tied to your farms, responsible-sourcing and conflict-minerals records for minerals, certifications with expiry tracking, and upcoming laws like CSDDD and UK Schedule 17 flagged well before their deadlines.

For exporters

Create an EUDR compliance document for each shipment, map your farms to the level the EU requires, and keep every certificate, declaration, and lab result in one place. The rules that apply to you — EUDR, responsible sourcing, conflict minerals, LBMA, Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, GLOBALG.A.P., and upcoming laws like CSDDD — appear automatically, based on what you sell and where.

Compliance for exporters

For buyers

Get a verified compliance document for every shipment, a clear read on how ready each supplier is, and all the evidence behind it with expiry dates in view. It's the same proof your suppliers build on their side — farm locations checked for EUDR, documents dated, certifications tracked, audit-ready by default.

Compliance for buyers
