More DetailsWho is MD Trade: a Belgian soft-commodities trader
The Marthe Dumortier group was founded in 2002 and has grown to include various divisions specializing in FMCG, beverages, building materials, and more. The decision to create MD Trade as a dedicated division for soft commodities was a strategic one, driven by the unique nature of these products and the evolving market landscape. Soft commodities, such as coffee and cacao, are highly sensitive to external factors like weather, climate, and geopolitical events. They require a specialized approach to procurement, risk management, and logistics that differs from other product categories. By establishing MD Trade, we have been able to build a focused team with in-depth expertise in this volatile market, develop a bespoke procurement platform for enhanced traceability, and ensure our full compliance with complex regulations like the EUDR. This structure allows us to offer both the deep knowledge of a specialized firm and the robust network of a larger, established group.
