Price intelligence · Buying at origin
Commtora is the price benchmark and trading desk for global commodities — coffee, pepper, minerals and more. See what you should be paying, then buy it from origin through us: verified supply, clear terms, delivered to your port.
The problem
Three brokers, three numbers, zero transparency on origin cost. The gap between what you pay and the real FOB is invisible — so don't take our word for it. Find your own number.
Origin cost is a black box. You're handed a landed price with no line-item you can actually check.
Every hand between farm and port adds a margin you never see — baked silently into one number.
Without a reference price, “expensive” and “fair” look identical on the invoice.
Why Commtora
Commtora is a trading desk that buys at origin — Vietnam, Uganda, Ethiopia and beyond — and sells to you as one accountable counterparty. That's why we price from origin up, and why you can act on it: track the price, save the markup, and order from source — verified suppliers, clear terms, one contract.
The Commtora Index starts from published market data and sharpens with every quote and deal on our desk — every number dated, none guessed.
Buy at the benchmark, not the broker's number. See your gap, close it — landed cost rebuilt from origin up.
Order from verified producers through one accountable desk — papers clean, terms in writing. One counterparty instead of a chain of brokers.
How it works
Commtora is already at origin. Tell us the commodity and we handle the rest — the real price, de-risked, delivered to your port.

Buying direct from source should feel safer than a local broker, not riskier. Commtora carries the risk so you don't.
One accountable desk
No chain of middlemen passing your order along. We carry quality, timing and counterparty risk, so buying direct from source feels safer than a local broker — not riskier.
We stand between you and the origin — quality, timing and counterparty risk are ours to manage.
Every supplier is verified — company and export licence — before we trade. You know exactly where your commodity comes from.
Agreed in your contract — structured to protect both sides, not just the seller.
Price, spec, Incoterm, payment terms and documents agreed up front — no surprises between quote and port.
Spec agreed in the contract; independent inspection before shipment on request.
Certificates, B/L and inspection reports for your order in your panel as they're issued — clean paperwork, in one place.
