Sourced in Tanzania, supplied at home and abroad

Every market we serve is supplied from the same base. We aggregate from producing regions across Tanzania, process and package for the destination, and ship domestically or for export from the same operation.

Home market

Tanzania

Tanzania is both our sourcing base and a market in its own right. We aggregate from producing regions across the country, process and package at our facilities, and distribute to buyers in the domestic trade alongside our export programme.

  • Supply to institutional and bulk buyers
  • Supply of animal feed materials to feed manufacturers
  • Consumer packaging and private labelling for the retail trade

Market availability depends on product demand, regulations, trade conditions and contractual agreements. The markets listed on this page show where IBS Agro Trading Limited is willing and able to trade; they are not a guarantee that a particular commodity can be supplied to a particular destination at a particular time.
Regions

Export regions in detail

What each region typically buys, how consignments reach it and what has to be settled before an order is confirmed.

East Africa

5 markets

Tanzania and its immediate neighbours sit inside shared regional trade arrangements and are within short transit distance of our operating base. That combination suits regular, repeating consignments of cereals, pulses and packaged foodstuffs, where buyers value delivery reliability as much as price. Consignments move overland to inland destinations or by sea to coastal ports.

Countries

  • Kenya
  • Uganda
  • Rwanda
  • Burundi
  • South Sudan

Central and Southern Africa

4 markets

The inland corridors served by the Port of Dar es Salaam connect Tanzania to markets across Central and Southern Africa. Demand in these markets is led by staple cereals, pulses and processed by-products, often in bulk or in heavy-duty woven packaging. Transit times and border formalities vary by route and are confirmed before an order is accepted.

Countries

  • Democratic Republic of Congo
  • Zambia
  • Malawi
  • Mozambique

Middle East

6 markets

Gulf ports are reached by sea freight from Dar es Salaam. Importers in these markets buy both bulk commodities and consumer-ready packaging, and typically work to a written specification covering grade, moisture, purity and packaging. Import permits, labelling rules and documentation requirements differ between countries and are confirmed for each contract before shipment.

Countries

  • United Arab Emirates
  • Oman
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Qatar
  • Bahrain
  • Kuwait

Other International Markets

3 regions

Enquiries from these markets are assessed individually. Requirements are usually specification-led: the buyer sets the grade, moisture, purity, packaging and documentation standard, and supply proceeds only where we are satisfied that the specification can be met consistently for the volume and period agreed.

Regions

  • Asia
  • Europe
  • North America

Wholesalers and traders

Volume buyers supplying local markets, shops and secondary traders, generally in standard bulk packaging.

Food processors and millers

Industrial buyers purchasing raw or semi-processed material against a defined technical specification.

Retail and supermarket supply

Buyers requiring consumer packaging, private labelling and packaging artwork that meets the destination market's labelling rules.

Institutional and bulk buyers

Programmes, catering operations and other organisations buying staples in quantity against a tender or supply agreement.

Animal feed manufacturers

Buyers of brans, broken grain, oilseed cakes and other feed materials produced as part of our processing operations.

How we work

The same undertaking in every market

Whether a consignment travels 200 kilometres by road or crosses an ocean, the commitments we make to the buyer are the same.

  • A written specification agreed before the order is confirmed
  • Packaging and labelling prepared for the destination market
  • Coordination of the export documentation the destination requires
  • One named point of contact for the duration of the contract
  • Notification if anything changes that affects the agreed delivery

Before you order

What determines availability

Being listed as a market does not mean every commodity is available to it at all times. Four things decide what we can actually commit to, and we would rather set them out here than discover them mid-contract.

Product demand

Demand for a given commodity differs by market and by season. Some products are bought year-round; others are ordered only around harvest or around a particular consumption period. We confirm what is realistically available for the requested delivery window before committing.

Regulations

Import and export requirements are set by the authorities in both countries and can change. Phytosanitary conditions, import permits, packaging and labelling rules, and permitted product treatments all differ by destination and must be satisfied for the specific consignment.

Trade conditions

Freight availability, port and border conditions, currency movements, seasonal crop performance and prevailing market prices all affect whether a shipment can be executed on the terms discussed. Where conditions change materially, we say so rather than quietly under-delivering.

Contractual agreements

Some volumes are already committed under existing contracts, and some markets are served through agreed distribution or agency arrangements. Availability for a new buyer is therefore confirmed contract by contract, in writing.

Availability is confirmed in writing for each contract. If we cannot supply a commodity to a destination on the terms you need, we will say so at the enquiry stage rather than after an order has been placed.
