TN goes global via Africa
Africa is emerging as an investment destination for Tamil Nadu -based enterprises dealing in agriculture, IT, leather, textiles and auto ancillaries. But why?
HOW WE TRADE
Analytics in the background, clean execution in the foreground.
The job sounds simple but is hard to do: buy right, move right, sell right. We use quantitative tooling to keep that loop tight across farmgate buying, onwater positions and destination exits.
01 · Origination
Farm-gate & origin port
We structure origin deals around price ladders, quality curves and logistics constraints, so committed volumes come with a clear view of risk–reward before the first bag moves.
-
Farm-gate programs in West & East Africa
-
Moisture, defect and yield modelling
-
Origin warehousing & aggregation
02 · In-transit
High-seas & on-water
While cargo is on water, we track timing risk, spreads and volatility, marking positions to both physical reality and financial markets - not just a flat screen price.
-
Vessel & AIS monitoring
-
Dynamic MTM and scenario analysis
-
On-water sales when the math supports it
03 · Destination
Port & ex-warehouse exits
At destination, we match cargo to the right buyer profile and window, factoring local demand curves, alternatives and processing margins before exits are executed.
-
Port clearance & warehousing
-
Buyer mapping by spec & timing
-
Disciplined exit rules to protect margin
