Exporter Selection
Our work begins with the careful selection of partners. We assess the exporter’s relationship with farmers in the field, the quality of industrial processes, their ability to consistently fulfill contracts, and their strategic positioning in international markets. We only work with those who share our commitment to seriousness, consistency, and quality.
Commercial and Contract Structuring
We support exporters in negotiating and drafting contracts with a focus on clarity, balance, and operational viability. Our goal is to ensure that all terms are realistic, fair, and sustainable over time, avoiding overcommitments that could compromise execution.
Operational Oversight
We closely supervise every step of the operation — from production to container stuffing and shipment. We handle documentation, ensure deadlines are met, and oversee all logistics involved, guaranteeing that each shipment is carried out efficiently, safely, and in full compliance.
Payment Management and Feedback
We coordinate payment flows with precision and responsibility, facilitating smooth communication between buyers and exporters. After each operation, we gather and relay feedback to continuously improve the process and strengthen relationships.
Market Intelligence
Our work is driven by information and analysis. We continuously monitor sector developments — including crop conditions, weather, international policy, and market behavior — and share insights with our partners to support strategic decisions and reinforce their global positioning.

Diligence
We closely monitor every step of the export process with extreme attention to detail — from strict compliance with technical specifications to the accurate completion of documents and coordination of each shipment, contract by contract. This diligence allows us to anticipate and prevent failures along the way, ensuring efficient and reliable execution of the commitments we undertake.
Reliability
We have operated in the same market and under the same name since the first Brazilian shipments of runner-type peanuts over two decades ago. We maintain long-standing relationships with our clients, always delivering the same high standard of service from the very beginning. We value long-term partnerships, built on the trust that we will always be present, fulfilling our role with responsibility and excellence
Quality
We only work with suppliers capable of meeting the highest standards. And we name our quality: strict thresholds for insect-damaged kernels, foreign material, and impurities; rigorous control over whole and split kernel ratios; and monitoring of aflatoxins, pesticide and herbicide residues from the source, in the field. For us, quality is measurable — and guaranteed.
