Sourcing & Traceability
Where exactly does it come from? We can answer that.
The first question serious buyers ask about Sudanese-origin goods is the one our whole chain is built to answer — every lot we ship traces to the market where it was first weighed. There is no one in between: the people who buy the lot are the people who ship it.
The chain
Four stages
The producing markets.
We buy at the collection markets of the producing regions — Gadarif for sesame, the Kordofan sands for gum and seed crops, El Rahad for hibiscus, and the markets around them. The first weighing at the market scale is where a lot's record begins.
Our own preparation.
The material moves to our cleaning warehouses — El Obeid, Kosti, Khartoum or Port Sudan, whichever serves the route — and through the Proseeds Factory for sorting, grading and packing. Dry process throughout: hand sorting and mechanical sieving, no water at any stage. Weights reconcile batch by batch.
Load and export.
Full container loads from Port Sudan, Red Sea State. FOB, CFR or CIF.
Proof on request.
Every shipment travels fully documented, with a certificate of analysis on every export lot. And behind the documents sits the lot file — the records from market to port — available to you on request. Your surveyor is welcome; samples travel ahead of any order.
