01 — Services
Agricultural cargo moves on short windows and thin margins. A missed container or a late fumigation certificate costs more than the freight itself. We carry that risk instead of passing it back.
Dedicated container trains from the Black Sea and Central Asia into Asia, through the Kazakhstan gateways of Dostyk and Altynkol.
Booking with liner operators and multimodal routings to South, South-East and East Asia, priced against the rail alternative every time.
Sourcing boxes where they are scarce, empty repositioning and compensation arrangements with liner operators.
Receiving, storage, stuffing, bagging and big-bag packing at origin, with lots kept segregated through the chain.
Phytosanitary certificates, fumigation and independent quality inspection, arranged and tracked to issue.
First-mile drayage, inland trucking and last-mile delivery within the UAE, with the full set of trade and transport documents prepared to travel with the cargo.
02 — Network
We do not claim global coverage. We work a single corridor into our home market and onward across Asia, and we know its terminals, its border crossings and its bottlenecks well enough to quote it honestly.
Elevators, inland terminals and port facilities across the growing belt, with cargo consolidated before it reaches the rail head.
The rail crossings into China and the ocean legs that run alongside them. Where the corridor is won or lost on transit time.
The UAE is our home market, served through Jebel Ali with delivery onward to the buyer’s warehouse. Beyond it — China, India, Bangladesh, Türkiye, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand.
Routings are chosen shipment by shipment on transit time, equipment availability and landed cost — not on which mode we happen to have booked.
03 — Cargo
A deliberately narrow book. Every lane, terminal and certificate we work with serves the same product group, which is why our routings hold when a season turns and capacity gets scarce.
Yellow and green peas, chickpeas and lentils — the volume base of the corridor and the cargo our terminals are set up for.
Wheat, barley, sorghum and millet, moved in bulk and in bags depending on the destination market and the buyer's discharge.
Flax, mustard, safflower and coriander, where lot segregation and certification matter more than raw tonnage.
Carried in bulk, in bags and in big-bags, in standard 20' and 40' containers, with packing chosen against the buyer's handling rather than our own convenience.
04 — Approach
We take the lot, the destination and the laycan, then price two or three viable routings with transit times and the assumptions behind them stated openly.
Space and equipment are secured with the carrier and the rail operator, and the plan is confirmed at origin before the cargo starts moving.
Trucking, terminal handling, stuffing and packing run under our supervision, with certification arranged in parallel rather than after the fact.
Documents are issued, the shipment is tracked through each crossing and transhipment, and the client receives one invoice for the completed service.
Tell us the commodity, the volume, the origin terminal and the target market. You will get routing options, indicative rates and transit times — not a brochure.
