Why counterparties stay

Fair dealing is the strategy

Producers are tired of aggressive middlemen. Our model is deliberately different: transparent economics, honest grading, and long-term supply relationships - because a mine that trusts its broker ships again next month. That is how we grow.

What we trade - agriculture

Grown in Africa, traded worldwide

Alongside minerals, we move agricultural commodities from Southern Africa's farming heartlands to buyers across the Gulf, Asia and beyond.

By negotiation

Origination

We know the ground the goods come from

Our supply relationships are direct - mines and farms, not middlemen chains. That means verified grades, honest documentation and cargo that shows up as contracted.

What we do

Broker. Place. Trade.

01

We Broker

Our core business. We connect licensed, verified producers with qualified international buyers - trading houses, refineries, mills and industrial consumers - and manage the commercial layer between them: negotiation, contracts, inspection and settlement terms.

02

We Place

We take cargo to market across India, Asia and the Gulf, priced against recognised indices - LME, LBMA, Fastmarkets and CRU - with export through the Beira and Durban corridors and documents through banks.

03

We Trade

Where a deal calls for it, we can buy and sell on our own account - taking positions at source with assay and documentation checked before anything is committed.

How a deal runs

01

Enquiry

Tell us what you are buying or selling - commodity, grade, volume, destination.

02

Verification

Assay reports, licences and counterparty checks before anything is committed.

03

Contract

Clear terms priced against recognised indices, inspection agreed up front.

04

Delivery

Export via Beira or Durban, documents through banks, settlement on terms.

Shipping

Two corridors. Every ocean.

Cargo leaves Africa through Beira and Durban and sails for India, Asia and the Gulf. Documents move through banks, inspection travels with the shipment, and both sides always know where their tonnes are.

About

A Dubai trading house with African roots

Forest Castle Group operates from Dubai - the natural crossroads between African supply and the buyers of India, Asia and the Gulf. Our origination network sits on the ground in Zimbabwe, with direct access to mining and farming operations.

We are deliberately small, senior and hands-on. Every transaction is run by a principal, not passed down a desk.

Buying, selling, or holding supply you want placed - send the details and a principal will respond directly.
