The company says its products are distributed to wholesalers, distributors and retail supply chains, lists three active markets – Djibouti, Ethiopia and the wider Berbera region – and says it has served more than 200 business clients. Its website describes a team of over 200 professionals across sourcing and procurement; logistics and port operations, which handle inbound freight, customs clearance, warehousing and last-mile distribution across East Africa; sales and client relations; finance and trade compliance; and quality assurance, which inspects shipments at origin, in transit and on delivery. It describes itself as the region's only continuous breakbulk operator. Its portfolio covers sugar, rice, edible oils, wheat and wheat flour, lentils and pulses, and spices.
