Defiant Trading sources seafood, rice, edible oils and sugar for a verified network of buyers across West Africa, the Middle East and Asia. We work directly with producers, mills, refineries and their authorized mandates — sellers who can demonstrate title, capacity and bankability.
Who We Work With
Defiant is the buyer in this relationship — you sell to us, and we supply our customers. We keep the line to the title holder short and documented.
Producers & Processors
Fishing companies and seafood processors, rice mills, oil refineries and crushers, and sugar mills that hold or control title to the product.
Authorized Mandates
Directly appointed mandates of the title holder, with a clear, verifiable line to the producer — not multi-layer agent chains.
Bankable Sellers
Counterparties who transact through prime-bank instruments and can evidence product, capacity and performance.
What We Require
These are the conditions to open a supply relationship. Meeting them up front keeps the process fast and protects both sides.
01
Corporate KYC
Company registration, ownership, and a bank reference.
02
Signed NCNDA
Non-circumvention / non-disclosure agreement before any proprietary terms are exchanged.
03
Genuine Soft Offer / FCO
A real offer with inspectable specifications and named terms.
04
Proof of Product & Capacity
Verifiable evidence of product and production or allocation capacity.
05
Independent Inspection
SGS, Cotecna, or Bureau Veritas inspection at load.
06
Prime-Bank Settlement
SBLC (MT760), documentary L/C, or TT as agreed — paid against shipping documents.
Our Principles
These protect both sides — and they are not negotiable.
No Upfront Fees
We don't pay them and we don't ask for them. Any request for advance fees ends the conversation.
Prime-Bank Instruments Only
Top-50 world banks. No non-bank or electronic-money institutions.
KYC / NCNDA First
Documents and identity before proprietary information changes hands.
Real Title, Real Product
Verified ownership and product — never recycled or borrowed paper.
