Hectar Global is a data-driven commodity trading desk, combining quantitative models, live market intelligence, and disciplined execution across Africa-Asia and global trade flows.

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.
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.

Whether you originate at farm-gate, run a destination book or broker flows between them, we plug into your world with clear thinking, transparent communication and a trade book that is continuously reconciled against data.
