Supply chain
Origin-to-port supply chain design for a food commodity trader
Coordination of quality control, export logistics and compliance from origin to port of loading.
Being present matters. When someone credible is in the market on your behalf, suppliers answer faster, quality issues surface earlier and decisions are taken on facts rather than on emails. We act as your representation without you setting up a company.
Representation works in both directions: a trusted commercial presence for Scandinavian companies in African markets, and representation for African companies in Scandinavia and Europe. Our fees are based on the assignment, not the client's country of origin.
Scope and activity level are agreed individually.
Performance-based fees may apply where appropriate and agreed in writing.
Published prices are indicative starting prices. Final fees depend on scope, geography, complexity, duration and required on-site work and are confirmed in writing before an assignment begins. All prices are stated in EUR and exclude VAT where applicable. Travel, accommodation, local transportation, interpreters, laboratory testing, government fees, third-party data, legal services and other external costs are charged separately unless explicitly included in the proposal.

Expanding into a new international market introduces challenges that cannot always be managed from a distance. Having experienced professionals on the ground can help companies reduce uncertainty, improve communication and build stronger business relationships.
