Reliable buyers pay for unreliable ones. We end that.
The problem
A wheat cargo into Mombasa is worth USD 15 to 20 million, and it works only when eight things line up: price, quality, availability, financing, documents, storage, delivery and repayment. Every party handles its own part. Nobody sees the whole, and nobody knows in advance which buyer will be ready when the vessel arrives.
So the market prices for the unreliable few. Suppliers add a risk premium or ask for a deposit. Banks lend against property instead of performance.
In 2026 the queue at the grain terminal reached about twelve vessels, at roughly USD 20,000 of waiting cost per vessel per day, paid by buyers who were ready.
What a large buyer has and you don't
Procurement
A desk that sees delivered prices across origins.
Finance
A team that puts banks in competition.
Compliance
A desk that has every permit in hand before the ship sails.
Logistics
A desk that books the trucks before the vessel berths.
Data on all of it. That is why the largest buyers pay less and wait less.
What Hakika does about it
We provide what those departments provide, as people, processes and technology. People who prepare your file and watch your cargo. A process with clear gates, a score and a reward, the same for every member. Technology that checks the documents, times the arrival and keeps the record.
You keep your own contracts, your own permits, your own bank. Hakika coordinates, verifies and measures.
Why a few dollars a tonne matter
A miller's operating profit on wheat is a few dollars a tonne. The difference between a buyer that is ready and one that is not is a few dollars a tonne too: on price, on freight, on waiting days, on storage, on interest.
Hakika exists to put those dollars on your side of the ledger.
What we are not
- We do not buy or sell grain.
- We do not lend.
- We never publish a score. Your scorecard is yours; you decide who sees it.
