Commodity trading to unlock project finance issues

As part of the project development strategy and approach, Semfa has designed a commodity trading scheme which unlocks projects from a shortage of finance. It is specifically focussed at markets such as Africa and is focusing on areas such as water projects as well as other specialist markets such as Aviation and currently we are considering trading opportunities in cocoa beans, rice as well as minerals for various projects.


New projects and commodities are always of interest as long as there is a transparent pathway and that the project is approved by the Due Diligence team

Trading

The restructuring of the Semfa “trading–partner” relationships has been completed with the establishment of a new operational team based in Istanbul under the control of Emre Imer. They cover a full range of products from reliable and dependable partners. In addition to supply sources from the Turkish team, Semfa has structured a strong presence in Russia, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan and as such has (through its partnerships) the ability to supply crude and refined oil products and LPG in addition to a full range of chemicals from reliable and existing partners (chemical groups, refineries and locally based trading companies).

Due Diligence

Semfa has also developed a “due diligence service”  to cover both suppliers (not from the existing partnerships) and also potential buyers and traders. There are two basic levels of due diligence covering initial review using easily available resources outside the region or if in depth research is required this is undertaken by lawyers in our partners offices in Moscow. The company is working on a business model to offer this to the marketplace as a paid service which will be unveiled in due course.
