Overview
Ofuk Trading was founded in Cairo to work two books and no others: food and industrial products. They have nothing in common except the thing that matters — goods that arrive to specification and on time.
How we work
We contract with the producer directly wherever we can: the farm, the mill, the plant. The specification is written down before anything is signed, the goods are inspected at loading by an independent surveyor, and shipping and clearance are followed from one desk through to delivery.
What we avoid
We do not sell what we have not seen, and we do not contract against a season whose state we do not know. A promise that cannot be kept costs more than the whole deal earns.
What it does
- Grain and pulse importing
- Edible oil and sugar supply
- Polymers and chemicals for industry
- Packaging materials
- Customs clearance and inland haulage

Why we inspect at loading, not on arrival
A quality dispute after the cargo lands is expensive for both sides. An independent survey at loading is the cheapest insurance in trade.

Two books, one desk
What does a wheat cargo have in common with a polymer cargo? Nothing — except the part that actually matters.

A note on freight
The price of the goods is half the story. Freight decides the other half, and it is the half that gets forgotten.
