Background

Establishment and development

IBS Agro Trading Limited was established as a Tanzanian agricultural trading company to connect the country’s farms with buyers who need dependable volume and a consistent, verifiable grade. The business has developed along the chain it started in: buying at origin, then preparing and packing what it buys, then distributing and exporting it.

From domestic supply of staple cereals and pulses, the company has grown into processing and packaging, then into export, and now trades across 7 product groups with buyers in Tanzania, East Africa and international markets.
