OUR APPROACH

Know the product.
Understand the transaction.

PLAVA Trading is led by Mohamad Hammoud, Managing Director and an agricultural engineer whose experience is rooted in farming, crop inputs and the commercial side of agricultural production.

We work across agricultural commodities, fresh produce, farming inputs and the practical services that connect growers, exporters and buyers. Our focus is on clear specifications, straightforward communication and execution that matches the actual requirements of each deal.

We maintain an office in Beirut, Lebanon and an office in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria. Local and international partners support market access, inspections and shipment coordination where needed.

PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE

Our work also happens on farms.

Agricultural production informs our approach to quality, seasonality, procurement and logistics.
