Frequently asked questions

Do I need a company or an export licence in Guinea-Bissau to buy from you?

No. Where a buyer does not want to incorporate locally or take out an export licence, Bafata Agri Resources can organise the export in its own name, subject to contractual and regulatory validation.

What is the minimum order quantity?

We work in full container loads and vessel parcels. Tell us your target volume in metric tonnes and your destination port, and we will confirm what is workable for your shipment window.
