Hectar is a technology-driven commodity trading firm headquartered in Singapore. We combine data intelligence and quantitative analysis with direct physical execution across oilseeds, pulses, tree nuts, grains and other core agricultural commodities—spanning close-knit supply chains across Africa and Asia.
What distinguishes Hectar from traditional commodity trading houses is how the business operates internally. Data infrastructure, proprietary analytics, and purpose-built systems are embedded across every stage of the trade lifecycle - from market analysis and opportunity identification through to execution, position management, and risk control.
The result is a firm that combines the physical execution capabilities of an established commodity house with the analytical discipline of a technology-native organisation - applied to the supply chains, quality specifications, and trade corridors that define agricultural commerce across Africa and Asia.
