Commodities & Services

Three commodity groups.
One operating framework.

Sugar, rice and grains, and edible oils — sourced, shipped, financed and risk-managed.

Sugar

Raw and refined sugar, across producing and consuming markets.

Sugar is the foundation of our business. We trade the full spectrum — raw and refined — sourcing from principal producing regions and delivering where supply is needed on a continuous basis. Positions are priced against international futures and contracted on recognised international terms.

ProductsRaw sugar (VHP, ICUMSA 600–1200) · Refined white sugar (ICUMSA 45)
OriginsLatin America · Africa · selected Asian origins
Destination marketsAfrica · Asia · Middle East
PricingReferenced to international raw and white sugar futures
Delivery termsFOB · CFR · CIF, bulk and bagged
Contract termsRecognised international trade-association contracts

Market Note

Our sugar desk tracks producing-region output, freight markets, and consuming-market demand. That reading informs pricing and the management of price and physical risk on each trade.

Edible Oils

Edible oils, moved from Southeast Asia into Africa.

Crude and refined palm oil, including CP8 and CP10 palm olein, sourced from Indonesia and Malaysia and delivered exclusively into African markets. We control quality, inspection and documentation across the physical chain.

ProductsCrude palm oil (CPO) · RBD palm olein (CP8, CP10)
QualityCrude, for further processing · Refined, bleached, deodorised, to international specification
OriginsSoutheast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia)
Delivery termsFOB · CFR · CIF — bulk, flexitank and jerry cans

Destination marketsAfrica

Responsibility Note

Edible oils carry particular supply-chain and environmental sensitivities. We address these through our sourcing standards and give preference to certified and traceable supply.

Rice & Grains

Rice from India and Pakistan, wheat and maize alongside.

Rice is the larger part of this desk — broken white rice sourced from India and Pakistan, delivered into food-security programmes, importers and distributors across Africa and Asia. Wheat and maize are traded alongside, into the same destination markets.

ProductsBroken white rice · milling wheat · feed wheat · maize
OriginsIndia · Pakistan (rice) · Latin America · Black Sea (wheat, maize)
Destination marketsAfrica · Asia
Contract termsGAFTA standard contracts as applicable
Delivery termsFOB · CFR · CIF, bulk and bagged
InspectionIndependent quality and weight inspection at load and discharge

Market Note

Rice does not price against a liquid futures benchmark — origin FOB assessments, export-policy decisions and freight set the level. Wheat and maize, by contrast, are referenced to international futures.

Services

Trade, logistics, and finance under one desk.

Agricultural trade fails more often at delivery than at price — in the freight, the financing, and the documentation that turn a contract into delivered supply. Allez controls all three.

🚢

Origination & Trade

Allez holds physical positions across origin and destination markets, supported by current market reading and disciplined risk control. The work is to keep supply moving when conditions at origin change.

Logistics & Shipping

We charter and coordinate freight, manage load and discharge, and oversee storage where required. Across many of our markets, freight is the binding constraint on trade, and we control it directly.

Trade Finance

We structure cargo financing with banks and trade-finance providers across jurisdictions, moving capital at the pace a trade requires while holding firm control over exposure.

EUR Hedged

Risk Management

Price, currency, and counterparty exposure is assessed before a position is taken and managed through to settlement.
