From farm gate to FOB.
Elengos operates the full procurement chain — sourcing, aggregating, grading, testing, fumigating, documenting, and shipping. Below is what we do, and how we do it.
- 01
Sourcing & aggregation
Direct relationships with smallholder cooperatives, primary aggregators, and warehouse operators across Iringa, Njombe, Ruvuma, Mbeya, Mtwara, Lindi, and the Lake Zone. We buy at the farm gate or aggregation point and consolidate at our depots.
- Multi-region sourcing networks
- Cooperative and out-grower relationships
- Pre-season volume planning with regular buyers
- Cash and contract purchasing options
- 02
Quality control & testing
Every lot is graded, cleaned and tested before bagging. Aflatoxin testing on groundnuts, maize, and other susceptible crops is non-negotiable for export-bound consignments.
- Moisture and test-weight checks
- Foreign matter and broken-grain screening
- Aflatoxin lab testing (per lot, export consignments)
- Pre-shipment inspection certificates
- 03
Warehousing & fumigation
Secure warehousing at our aggregation points with phosphine fumigation as required by destination markets and ISPM-compliant treatments where applicable.
- Bagged and bulk storage
- Phosphine fumigation
- Pest and moisture monitoring
- Inventory tracking by lot
- 04
Export documentation & logistics
Full documentation chain — certificate of origin, phytosanitary certificates, fumigation certificates, BL preparation, and freight coordination through Dar es Salaam port.
- Certificate of origin (TCCIA / EAC)
- Phytosanitary certification
- Fumigation certificates
- Container loading and freight booking
- Bill of lading and shipping documentation
- 05
Domestic supply
For local processors and millers — flour mills, oil pressers, breweries, feed manufacturers — we supply graded lots in bag or bulk, delivered to your facility on agreed schedules.
- Volume contracts (monthly/quarterly)
- Spot lots
- Delivered to processor sites
- Custom specifications on contract
- 06
Sourcing on contract
For buyers requiring crops we don't routinely stock — pulses, oilseeds, spices — we source on contract from regions and cooperatives we know, against agreed volume and specification.
- Bespoke volume contracts
- New-crop sourcing campaigns
- Pulses, oilseeds, and specialty grains
