Fee Models

Understand how Asia Umoja Global structures brokerage, retainers, and performance fees for cross-continental commodity trades.

A polished, dark wooden conference table set in front of a floor-to-ceiling window overlooking two distinct skylines merged into one panorama: an Asian megacity on the left and a modern African port city on the right. On the table, neatly arranged samples of commodities—gleaming metal ingots, burlap sacks of grains, sealed canisters labeled oil and gas—are laid on a matte black runner. Late afternoon natural light pours through the glass, creating long, elegant shadows and subtle reflections on the table’s surface. The camera is positioned at table height, drawing the eye along the line of commodities toward the blended skylines. The photographic style is clean and realistic, conveying strategic partnership and cross-continental trade in a calm, confident mood.
A large, dark glass trading desk with multiple ultra-thin curved monitors displaying detailed commodity charts, live price tickers, and color-coded maps of Asia and Africa connected by luminous trade routes. The screens are crisp and legible, filled with realistic data for metals, energy, and agricultural products. The reflective black surface of the desk mirrors the soft glow of the monitors, while the background remains intentionally blurred, hinting at a modern high-rise city skyline at dusk. Cool blue and neutral white light from the screens provide the primary illumination, creating a focused, analytical atmosphere. Captured from a slightly elevated angle, the photographic composition feels sophisticated and professional, perfectly aligned with a serious global commodity trading brand.

Pricing

Transaction Desk

We work with flexible engagement models tailored to your trading needs. For recurring flows of commodities between Asia and Africa, we typically operate on long‑term mandate or retained partnership structures, acting as your dedicated sourcing and off‑take desk. For one‑off shipments or trial cargoes, we offer project‑based engagements with clearly defined scopes, timelines, and risk allocations. In every model, responsibilities for logistics, quality control, documentation, and financing support are agreed upfront so both sides have full clarity before a deal is initiated.

✓ Trade sourcing

✓ Counterparty checks

✓ Shipment tracking

✓ Basic reporting

Growth Partner

Our fees are transparent and performance‑linked. For most transactions, we charge either a small per‑metric‑ton commission or a margin that is built into the final commodity price, disclosed in advance and fixed once contracts are signed. Larger strategic partnerships may use a blended model combining a modest retainer to secure capacity with reduced per‑ton trading fees. We do not add hidden surcharges—any third‑party costs such as inspection, storage, or freight are passed through at cost with supporting documentation.

✓ Volume pricing

✓ Dedicated broker

✓ Multi-port routing

✓ Weekly insights

Strategic Alliance

Typical deal frameworks follow internationally recognised commodity‑trading standards and are adapted to the regulatory requirements of each jurisdiction. Contracts specify product specifications, Incoterms, shipment schedules, and payment security, often using instruments such as letters of credit, bank guarantees, or structured pre‑payment facilities. Risk is allocated based on the agreed delivery term—for example, under FOB the buyer arranges ocean freight, while under CIF or CFR we coordinate it. Before we move to contract, we use term sheets and indicative pricing scenarios to help you assess viability and ensure that commercial, legal, and logistical expectations are fully aligned.

✓ Risk hedging

✓ Structured finance

✓ Government liaison

✓ ESG compliance
