Gulf feed mills and the integrators of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan import soybean meal at scale. We deliver high-protein meal from South America and India CIF discharge port — quality and weight certified at the load port, freight on our own chartered tonnage.
Protein cargo is bought on specification and sold on certificate. The desk contracts the meal, fixes the vessel and clears the documents so the mill deals with one counterparty from origin to discharge.
We contract high-protein soybean meal from South American and Indian crushers. Protein, moisture, fibre and urease limits are agreed in writing; non-GMO origin is specified when required and available.
NASIF fixes soybean meal parcels of 5,000–50,000 MT on Supramax or Panamax vessels. Meal is a low-density cargo, so stowage factor and hold cleanliness are checked before fixture, not after.
An independent inspection company certifies protein, moisture and weight at loading. Hold cleanliness is surveyed and recorded before cargo enters the vessel.
Bills of lading, quality, weight, phytosanitary and origin certificates, plus any agreed non-GMO declarations, are checked against the contract and letter-of-credit requirements before presentation.
We coordinate voyage updates from South America or India to the receiver’s port. Transit time depends on routing, vessel availability and port conditions; cargo ventilation and moisture requirements are addressed in the shipment plan.
Discharge into silo or bagging for onward transport is planned with the receiver. Under CFR or CIF, the buyer handles import clearance and duties; inland delivery and other destination services are agreed separately.
Hi-pro soybean meal is NASIF’s standard book, with the protein level fixed in each contract and certified by an independent inspection company at loading. Standard-protein meal can be sourced on request when a feed mill’s formulation calls for it.
The minimum for a bulk parcel is around 5,000 MT. Smaller quantities can be arranged containerised or as part-cargo when NASIF already has a vessel fixed on the route, which keeps freight sensible for a trial order.
CIF or CFR to the discharge port is the usual basis, with freight on tonnage chartered by NASIF’s own desk. FOB origin is available for buyers who prefer to fix their own vessel, and the Incoterm is written into the contract.
An independent inspection company samples, analyses and weighs the cargo at the load port. The certificate issued there is final unless the contract provides for analysis at discharge, in which case the sampling method is agreed in advance.
Yes, on request and subject to origin availability. Non-GMO origin is written into the contract and supported by the relevant declarations in the document set, so the buyer’s feed-labelling requirements can be met.
A letter of credit at sight is the default for new counterparties. Cash against documents or telegraphic transfer is available for established relationships, and the terms are fixed in the contract together with the documents that trigger payment.
NASIF delivers soybean meal to feed mills in the Gulf — Dubai, Saudi Arabia — and to buyers in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Discharge is arranged into silo or bagged on the quay according to the receiver’s facility.
Soybean meal is a low-density cargo, so NASIF checks the stowage factor and hold cleanliness before the fixture rather than after. The vessel is chosen so the parcel fits the holds without leaving paid capacity empty.
Yes. Ventilation and moisture are monitored on passage because meal can heat if loaded wet or ventilated badly. Hold surveys are documented before loading and any anomaly during the voyage is reported to the receiver.
Send protein level, quantity, destination and loading window. We aim to provide an initial response within one working day, with indicative pricing subject to specifications, origin and vessel availability.
Send protein specification, quantity, destination and delivery window to discuss origin and freight options.
