Who We Are

A U.S. trading house built on origin relationships.

BavoZulu Commodities is an independent commodity trading and sourcing company headquartered in Clearwater, Florida. We move premium agricultural commodities between producing regions and the food manufacturers, importers, wholesalers and industrial buyers who depend on consistent supply.

Our advantage is direct. We work shoulder-to-shoulder with growers, cooperatives and exporters at origin, and we manage every contract through to discharge at the buyer's port. Nothing about our trades is anonymous — every shipment carries a name, a chain of custody and full documentation.
