Why Equinox Springs Trading

Trade is a promise. We treat it that way.

Anyone can quote a price. The value of a commodity trading partner shows up in what happens after the contract is signed — when a supplier slips, a rate moves, or a document is wrong. These are the reasons clients keep coming back to us.

Common questions

Before you enquire

What products do you actually trade?

Dry agricultural commodities — grains and cereals, pulses and legumes, oilseeds, tea, nuts and dried fruit, spices and sugar among them. That is deliberately where we concentrate, because it is where our sourcing network and our experience sit. If your product is agricultural and not something we have handled before, tell us anyway; we will research it and give you a straight answer on whether we can help.

Is there a minimum order size?

No. We handle both small trial orders and large-volume consignments. A first small order is often the sensible way to test quality and service before committing to something bigger, and we treat it as a real order.

Do you handle the shipping and paperwork too?

Yes. Logistics coordination is part of what we do — sea, air and road freight, warehousing where needed, and the documentation that has to travel with the cargo. We work alongside established freight and clearing partners and stay accountable to you for the outcome.

Do you trade outside South Africa?

Yes, in both directions. We import product into South Africa for local clients, and we export South African goods to buyers in international markets.

How do you charge?

It depends on the structure of the trade. We either quote you a landed price that includes our margin, or work on an agreed fee for sourcing and coordination. Either way you will know which arrangement applies before you commit.
