About Us

History

Commodity Port was created out of a deep desire to tackle the inefficiencies and inequalities in the flow of information, resources and financing to producers and originators across the various commodity value chains. Commodity Port adds value to the commodity chains by unblocking the issues that prevent the flow of credit and investments into the commodities sectors within select African countries. We achieve this by acting as an intermediator and allocator, allowing various parties, whether producers, investors, and public agencies, to interact effectively and facilitate trade and exchange of value.

Since we started in 2016, Commodity Port has grown in leaps and bounds, successfully closing various commodity transactions and projects and channelling investable funds into the development of the agriculture and solid mineral sectors.

Commodity Port is well structured to provide the bespoke expertise, solutions and technology to facilitate development of the commodity value chains.
