How trade actually begins
Sourcing starts with a conversation about what you actually need — grade, volume, destination, timing — and continues through verification, coordination and delivery.

How supply becomes trade
A commodity does not become an international trade requirement by accident. Here is what actually moves between origin and destination.
A trade journey begins with African agricultural supply — commodities grown and harvested across Nigeria’s producing regions.
Supply is brought together from producers and aggregators, coordinated toward a specific buyer requirement rather than held as generic stock.
What a buyer specifies — grade, moisture, form — is checked against what supply can genuinely deliver, agreed per contract rather than assumed.
Cleaning, sorting, drying, or further processing brings the commodity to export-ready condition.
Packaging is agreed to the commodity and the buyer’s requirement — from moisture-sensitive spices to bulk grain.
Documentation and logistics coordination move the shipment toward its destination — coordinated with the appropriate partners at each stage.
Trade Anatomy
An enquiry becomes commercially actionable when eight variables are defined. Each one narrows what the Trade Desk needs to verify before sourcing can begin.
The starting point. Each commodity carries its own forms, seasons and handling considerations.
Volume determines whether a requirement is feasible, how it is aggregated and how it is shipped.
Grade, moisture, purity and form. Specifications are agreed to the buyer’s requirement and applicable trade standards.
Destination shapes documentation, routing and the logistics partners involved.
Packaging is matched to the commodity’s sensitivity and to the buyer’s handling requirements.
Timing is assessed against real harvest seasons and aggregation lead times, not assumed availability.
The commercial delivery basis defines where responsibility transfers between seller and buyer.
Price basis and currency frame the commercial conversation. AZARO does not publish fixed prices.
Represented on the ground
African agricultural supply is not a catalogue. It is a network of producers, aggregators and processors, each with real seasons and real constraints — and it is navigated by people who work in it directly.
AZARO's role is to hold that ground-level relationship on your behalf, so what arrives matches what was agreed.
