RAFOIL service

Commodity Sourcing

Identify and compare potential supply pathways against a qualified buyer requirement.

The exact scope depends on the commodity, market, parties, role, evidence, commercial procedure and written engagement.

Client problem

A buyer has a defined commodity need but lacks a credible, comparable route to relevant supply.

RAFOIL’s role

RAFOIL structures the brief, researches potential pathways and organizes available commercial information.

Process

What may be included

  • Requirement structuring

  • Supply-market research

  • Potential supplier outreach

  • Offer and procedure comparison

  • Commercial information-gap analysis

Required information

What RAFOIL needs

  • Product and full specification

  • Quantity and frequency

  • Destination and delivery timeline

  • Preferred Incoterm

  • Buyer identity, authority and intended procedure

Expected outcome

A clearer sourcing decision with identified candidates, evidence gaps and next questions.

  • Documented sourcing brief

  • Potential supply-path shortlist

  • Comparison of available commercial information

  • Recommended next questions and decision points

Engagement discipline

Scope before activity.

RAFOIL confirms the objective, relevant parties, available inputs, deliverables, limitations, timeline, responsibilities and fee basis before a substantive assignment begins.

A later commercial introduction, mandate or transaction-coordination role requires its own written basis where it is not already included.

Limitations

Independent diligence remains essential.

Research does not create inventory, allocation, price validity, supplier authority or a transaction guarantee.

  • Commodity listings describe sourcing scope and market development; they do not represent owned stock or a binding offer.

  • Availability, origin, specification, price, quantity, delivery terms and procedure require supplier verification and final contract.

  • RAFOIL does not guarantee a counterparty, transaction, payment, inspection, logistics performance or regulatory outcome.

  • Banks, lawyers, inspection companies, logistics providers and other specialists remain independent external parties.

  • Buyer or supplier representation is undertaken only under a valid and verifiable written mandate or agreement.
