Commodity sourcing & purchasing services

ACJ works as your sourcing and buying agent. We search for the products you need, find the best prices and negotiate purchasing conditions — representing your interests, not the seller’s.

Who it’s for

Built for companies that buy commodities

Importers, manufacturers, traders and distributors all face the same problem: the market is full of offers, but few of them match the specification, and fewer still come with conditions that work. A sourcing and buying agent sits on your side of the table and does the searching, comparing and negotiating for you.

ACJ has done this for 9 years from Franca, in São Paulo state — close to Brazil’s agricultural heartland and connected to suppliers worldwide. We cover agricultural commodities, metals, metal scrap, minerals and ores and petroleum products.

What's included

What we do for you

Best prices

We gather offers and compare them like for like — same specification, same Incoterm, same quantity — so you can see which one is genuinely the best, and we negotiate the price on your behalf.

  • Offers compared on the same basis
  • Price negotiation on your behalf
  • A clear view of the market before you commit

Purchasing conditions

Price is only part of a good purchase. We negotiate the conditions around it, so the deal works for your business from the first shipment to the last.

  • Quantities and contract duration
  • Delivery schedule and shipment windows
  • Incoterms and payment terms

One point of contact

You deal with one office that works for you, from the first inquiry to the purchase decision — reachable by email, phone and WhatsApp, 08:00–18:00, Brasília time.

  • Direct line to our office in Brazil
  • English and Portuguese
  • Updates as offers come in

FAQ

Questions about our sourcing service

What does your sourcing and purchasing service include?

Three things: searching the market and prospecting suppliers for the product you need; comparing offers to find the best price; and negotiating the purchasing conditions — quantities, delivery schedule, Incoterms and payment terms — on your behalf.

Can you source products from outside Brazil?

Yes. Our office is in Franca, Brazil, but our service area is worldwide. We search wherever the product you need is available on the right terms.

Which Incoterms do you work with?

We work from the Incoterm in your inquiry — for example FOB, CFR or CIF — and compare offers on that same basis, so prices are genuinely comparable.

What should I send to get started?

The product and specification, quantity, packaging, destination, preferred Incoterm, delivery schedule and payment terms. The inquiry form below covers all of it.
