ABOUT ASGARD

Asgard FZE is a UAE-based international commodities trader with more than fifteen years of experience in physical trading. We specialize in two essential bulk commodities: thermal and metallurgical coal, and a growing portfolio of mineral fertilizers including urea, ammonium nitrate, DAP, MAP, and custom NPK blends.

Our operations span over thirty countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. What distinguishes us is our vertically integrated approach - direct control over key logistics infrastructure, long-term supply contracts, and robust in-house risk and quality assurance systems. This allows us to deliver consistent product quality, reliable scheduling, and documentation that meets the highest international compliance standards.
Vision & Mission
We believe sustainable trade happens where global demand intersects with reliable physical supply - and long-term relationships matter more than short-term gains.
Our mission is to provide uninterrupted, transparent, and compliant delivery of commodities that power industries and nourish food systems. Whether supporting power generation, steel production, or agricultural productivity, we commit to integrity, responsiveness, and operational excellence.

To achieve this, we invest in local expertise, modern infrastructure, and strong partnerships - ensuring our teams can interpret market signals, adapt quickly to disruptions, and execute with precision.
Doing business with us
At Asgard, trust is earned through performance. We go beyond transactional trading to build end-to-end supply solutions tailored to our clients’ operational realities.
We provide direct access to production assets and manage the full logistics chain - from mine or plant to final discharge. This includes rail and port coordination, vessel chartering, real-time shipment tracking, and full documentation support, from proforma invoices to certificates of origin and assay reports.

Our clients, ranging from utilities and cement producers to agricultural cooperatives and bulk distributors, value our ability to maintain consistent product specifications, meet tight delivery windows even in volatile conditions, and offer flexible commercial terms - whether spot shipments, annual contracts, or door-to-door deliveries under CIF or FOB conditions.
Our Commodities
We trade two foundational commodity groups, each with distinct technical and logistical requirements - and we treat both with equal seriousness.
Our coal portfolio includes high-quality steam and coking coal sourced from South Africa and Indonesia, with calorific values between 5,500 and 6,500 kcal/kg on a NAR or GAR basis. These coals are selected for low ash and sulphur content, making them suitable for power plants, cement kilns, and metallurgical applications. We routinely handle shipments from Panamax to Capesize vessels.

We supply nitrogen- and phosphate-based mineral fertilizers - primarily urea, ammonium nitrate, DAP, MAP, and balanced NPK formulations - sourced from verified producers in Central Asia and the Middle East. These are available in bulk or in 50-kilogram polypropylene bags, with full technical documentation and pre-shipment quality verification.

Every cargo we handle undergoes independent inspection by globally recognized agencies such as SGS or Bureau Veritas - with sampling and analysis performed at origin, port of loading, and destination to guarantee contractual conformity.
Operations & Strategy
Our competitive edge stems from physical presence, local knowledge, and global coordination. Regional hubs, each led by locally embedded management teams, ensure responsiveness to market dynamics, regulatory changes, and infrastructure constraints.
We own and operate storage and blending facilities, which allow us to fine-tune product specifications before dispatch. Our logistics team coordinates multimodal transport - rail, truck, barge, and vessel chartering - while maintaining close relationships with financial institutions to facilitate letters of credit, standby instruments, and other trade finance solutions.

As demand grows in the Asia-Pacific region and emerging agricultural economies, we continue to expand our dual focus: securing reliable energy inputs and supporting global food security through dependable fertilizer supply.
Risk & Compliance
For a trader, risk management is not a back-office function - it is the foundation of sustainable business.
We apply a rigorous, multi-layered framework to every transaction. This begins with thorough due diligence on counterparties - including KYC, financial health checks, and identity verification via BIN or LEI - and extends to ongoing credit monitoring, exposure reporting, and independent risk review.

We assess political, logistical, and force majeure risks before each shipment and maintain strict documentation protocols, ensuring contracts, bills of lading, certificates, and electronic records meet banking and regulatory expectations. In an industry where certainty is scarce, we strive to make it standard.
Quality Assurance
Quality at Asgard is not incidental - it is engineered into every stage of the supply chain.
Before dispatch, coal and fertilizers are blended to meet exact contractual targets - whether calorific value and ash content for coal, or NPK ratios for fertilizers. Third-party laboratories conduct standardized sampling and chemical analysis in accordance with ISO, ASTM, and GOST methods.

We guarantee full traceability through batch identification, origin certificates, and certificates of analysis. Our coal complies with EU Best Available Techniques and WHO emissions guidance; our fertilizers meet EU Fertilising Products Regulation standards and GCC conformity requirements - helping ensure smooth customs clearance and end-user acceptance.
The FuturE
The world is redefining the relationship between energy and agriculture - and Asgard is evolving with it.
We are expanding our fertilizer offerings to include advanced formulations such as sulphur-coated urea and micronutrient-enriched blends. For coal, we are exploring carbon-adjusted contracts to support buyers with environmental commitments.

Digital transformation is also central to our strategy: we are implementing e-bills of lading, blockchain-ready documentation trails, and integrated shipment tracking - all while deepening partnerships with agri-cooperatives, independent power producers, and regional distributors.

As a privately owned company, we combine the agility of a nimble operator with the discipline of a long-term investor - ready to act decisively today, and build responsibly for tomorrow.
