About
A trading company built from origin.
Practical, entrepreneurial and execution-driven. AP grew out of real trade between West Africa and international markets.
AP was born out of real commercial operations between West Africa and international markets. Our first experience in the cashew value chain created local relationships, sourcing capabilities and practical knowledge about how transactions are actually executed at origin.
On that infrastructure we are building a broader agricultural trading platform: cashew, cocoa and its derivatives, soybeans and selected commodities sourced through our origin and partner network.
We are not a marketplace and not a broker desk. We identify and structure commercial opportunities connecting producers, exporters, processors, industrial clients, international buyers and distribution partners — and we stay involved until delivery.
Built at origin.
Team
Three partners, three complementary disciplines.
AP Trading Worldwide is owned and run by its three co-founders: finance and institutional relations, origin sourcing and execution, administration and controlling.

Leads the company's banking, trade-finance and institutional relationships, and opens the commercial relationships that turn into long-term counterparties. Represents AP before financial institutions, embassies and public bodies in Europe and West Africa.
