Who We Are

A New Standard in Global Commodity Trade

Prime Charters International Limited is a dynamic, internationally-focused trading company established in 2022 with a mission to bridge global supply chains in precious metals and high-quality agricultural products. Headquartered with operational networks spanning Africa, Europe, Asia, and North America, we have rapidly positioned ourselves as a trusted intermediary for serious buyers and sellers worldwide.

Founded by visionary entrepreneur Ahmed Sallah, Prime Charters was built on the conviction that transparent, compliant, and relationship-driven commodity trading can unlock extraordinary value for all stakeholders — from mine operators and farmers to international off-takers and end-users. In just a few years, the company has forged strong bilateral partnerships in the United Kingdom, India, and Canada, establishing Prime Charters as a genuinely global operation.

Our portfolio spans two core verticals: precious metals — including copper cathode (Grade A, 99.99%), copper wire rod (8mm, IEC/ASTM), and copper concentrate — alongside an agricultural commodities division offering cashew nuts (W320), white sesame seeds, non-GMO soya beans, white corn, yellow corn, and both powdered and granular sulphur. Every shipment is backed by comprehensive documentation including Certificate of Analysis (COA), Certificate of Origin (COO), SGS inspection reports, and phytosanitary certificates where applicable.
