Origination & Trading
Sadot Agri-Foods: Origination & Trading
- Sourcing food & feed products (e.g., soybean, wheat, corn, etc.) from producing geographies in North America, Africa and the Black Sea and delivering to markets in Central & South America, Southeast Asia, China and the Middle East/North Africa region.
- Sadot Group is carving a niche amongst global supply chain companies that control different segments and geographies of the supply.
Trading Model
- Sadot Agri-Foods originates high volume trades ($20M-$50M per trade) over short durations (2-6 weeks).
- Transactions generate margins by taking advantage of arbitrages between origins, destinations and currencies and by streamlined logistic management.
- Volatility is inherent to the agri-commodity markets. Arbitrage opportunities may not always exist for a specific product, origin or destination. This has a direct impact on the income stream.
Geographies
Sadot Agri-Foods currently executes trades between producing geographies such as the Americas, Africa, and the Black Sea to consumer markets in Southeast Asia, China, and the Middle East/North Africa (MENA) region.
