Based in Dubai, supplying Africa’s fertilizer market
Since 2013, Lyambai DMCC has connected global fertilizer suppliers with distributors in Zambia and across Africa.
Close to our suppliers, focused on our customers
Lyambai DMCC was established in 2013 in the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) to support the supply of agricultural products.
Our principal suppliers, Swiss Singapore and ETG, are established in Dubai, so we set up our company here to simplify procurement and build credibility with them.
Today we are an agro procurement company focused on fertilizers. We source from the UAE and other regions and supply customers in Africa, especially Zambia. With more than 25 years of experience in the fertilizer market, we can anticipate the quantities our customers will need, season after season.
How we workHow our business model has evolved
Over the years we have refined our model so that we can concentrate on what matters most to customers: price, availability and reliable delivery.
Founded in DMCC, Dubai
Lyambai was set up close to its major suppliers in Dubai to simplify procurement and strengthen those relationships.
Managing every shipment
At first we handled shipping from supplier to customer ourselves, which exposed our margins to volatile freight costs.
Delivered on DDU terms
Delivery is now included in the purchase price on DDU terms. Suppliers deliver straight to customer warehouses, and we focus on growing sales and serving customers.
The principles behind every trade
Selective partnerships
We take on customers as business partners only after carefully analysing their market depth and financials.
We carry the price risk
We take on the risk of our purchase cost moving against the market, so customers can plan with confidence.
Shared intelligence
We share market insight from our key stakeholders to help customers predict demand and order at the best price.
Relationships that last
Most of the clients we supply have traded with us for 15 to 20 years.
