AOA's core agricultural programme focuses on five strategically selected commodities that represent the highest demand segments in West African agricultural exports. Each commodity is procured through established sourcing networks, subjected to quality inspection, and delivered to processors or export buyers according to contracted specifications. A separate trading desk handles petroleum procurement and metals sales for qualified counterparties.
