How we're structured

One relationship, two disciplines.

Chayah LLC and Chayah Trading LLC work as a single team split by function — advisory on one side, execution on the other — so every trade is backed by structure, not just a transaction.

Chayah LLC — Advisory

Structuring the deal before it's made.

The consulting arm. We work with partners and principals to shape trade relationships before capital moves — strategy, risk, and compliance.

Chayah Trading LLC — Execution

Getting the material where it needs to go.

The trading arm. We source, transact, and settle commodity trades — the physical and financial mechanics of moving raw materials.

Agricultural commodities
Energy & fuel products
Industrial raw materials
Logistics coordination & settlement

From the first advisory conversation to the last settled shipment, Chayah covers the full span of a commodity trade.

Sourcing & procurement

Identifying and vetting suppliers of agricultural, energy, and raw material commodities across regions.

Trade structuring

Building the commercial terms, contracts, and risk allocation that make a trade bankable.

Market entry advisory

Helping partners understand and enter new commodity markets with the right local relationships.

Risk & compliance

Managing counterparty, currency, and regulatory risk across cross-border transactions.

Logistics coordination

Working with freight, storage, and inspection partners to move product reliably.

Settlement & finance

Coordinating payment terms, letters of credit, and closing mechanics on every trade.

Why Chayah

What partners get working with us.

Structured from day one

Every trade passes through advisory before execution — terms, risk, and compliance are settled up front.

Cross-border by design

Built to work across jurisdictions, currencies, and regulatory regimes from the outset.

Direct relationships

We work directly with suppliers, buyers, and counterparties — no unnecessary layers between parties.

One accountable team

Advisory and execution sit under one roof, so there's a single point of accountability throughout.

Approach

How a trade moves through Chayah.

Step 01

Source

We identify the commodity, the counterparty, and the terms — vetted by the advisory team before anything moves.

Step 02

Structure

Contracts, risk allocation, and compliance are put in place so the trade holds up under scrutiny.

Step 03

Settle

Trading LLC executes logistics and closes payment, with advisory oversight through to delivery.

Who we work with

Built for both sides of the trade.

Producers & suppliers

Looking for reliable offtake and structured payment terms.

Buyers & processors

Sourcing verified volumes of raw materials on consistent terms.

Investors & partners

Evaluating trade finance or co-investment opportunities.

Logistics & finance partners

Freight, inspection, and banking partners supporting settlement.

Investment opportunities

Research behind the trade desk.

Beyond day-to-day trading, our team develops in-depth investment cases in the commodity corridors we know best — pairing on-the-ground trade experience with rigorous, data-driven analysis.
