01 / Mission

We exist to make the movement of bulk agricultural commodities predictable in an unpredictable market — connecting producers, buyers, and carriers across two of the world’s most demanding origination regions with the discipline of a trading desk and the judgment of people who know the cargo.

Value

Precision

Every contract, specification, and shipment is verified against source documentation — no assumptions, no rounding errors on volumes that matter.

Value

Integrity

We represent both sides of a trade honestly. Our word is binding before the paperwork is, and we build relationships that outlast any single deal.

Value

Market Fluency

We track freight, FX, weather, and export policy across our corridors continuously, so clients act on current conditions, not last week’s data.

Value

Reliability

Vessels, borders, and harvests don’t wait. We build in contingency at every stage so a single delay never becomes a broken supply chain.

Value

Discretion

Client positions, counterparties, and pricing strategy are handled with the confidentiality expected in commodities brokerage.

Value

Partnership

We measure success across seasons, not single shipments — the goal is a counterparty relationship a client keeps coming back to.

02 / History

Built around two grain corridors, one desk at a time.

2018

Yanis Group is founded

Established with a focus on bulk agricultural commodities brokerage, opening with relationships in Turkish agricultural products.

2019

Expansion into the Black Sea corridor

Origination relationships extended into Ukraine, anchored by sunflower oil as the primary line, alongside wheat and barley.

2021

South American origination network

Deepened sourcing across Brazil, led by Sugar IC45, building the logistics relationships that now anchor our sugar and grain desks.

2023

Establishment of the Omani entity

Yanis Group formally established its Omani company, integrating the Middle East as a core destination market alongside origination in South America and the Black Sea, and strengthening the corridor into Jebel Ali and the wider Gulf.

Today

A cross-corridor consultancy and brokerage

Yanis Group now advises and executes across origination, freight, and destination markets, serving clients who need both trading expertise and on-the-ground market knowledge.
