AYCAS Commodities is a Harare-based trading firm importing agricultural staples into Zimbabwe from the region and exporting Zimbabwean minerals into global markets — with contract rigour, licensing oversight and logistics that hold under scrutiny.
AYCAS runs two commodity lines flowing in opposite directions — agricultural imports into Zimbabwe from South Africa, Zambia and Malawi, and mineral exports from Zimbabwe to counterparties worldwide. The discipline does not change with the cargo.
Maize (GMO and Non-GMO, white and yellow), sugar beans, soya beans and peanuts from South Africa, Zambia and Malawi into Zimbabwean millers, feed mills and food processors.
Full Cream Milk Powder (FCMP), Skim Milk Powder (SMP), Anhydrous Milk Fat (AMF) and whey powder imported into Zimbabwean dairy processors, bakeries, confectioners and feed industry. Food-grade, audited origin.
Sugar, tomato paste, orange concentrate and baobab pulp — specialty ingredients for Zimbabwean industrial processors, beverage bottlers and confectioners.
Scheelite and wolframite concentrates from Zimbabwean deposits, shipped under MMCZ licensing to specialist smelters and refiners in Europe and Asia.
Chrome ore and concentrates from licensed Great Dyke mines, trucked and railed through Beira and Walvis Bay to stainless-steel and ferrochrome counterparties worldwide.
Additional commodities — tobacco, lithium, manganese, soybean meal, rice, fertilisers — sourced or placed against firm enquiry in either direction.
On a typical grain import from South Africa to Zimbabwe, cargo moves from sourcing to client weighbridge in four working days — because the steps are pre-cleared, not rushed. Mineral exports run the same discipline on longer timelines.
Supplier verification — grading, compliance, stock readiness. Purchase Order issued; pricing and terms confirmed. Day 1.
Supplier invoice paid (50% pre-payment into escrow on cash orders). Logistics appointed. Loading at silo, weight recorded, slips issued. Day 1–2.
Clearing agent processes export paperwork on SA side; ZIMRA pre-clearance on Zim side. Trucks depart, border cleared, delivery en route. Day 2–3.
Arrival at client weighbridge. Weight and quality re-verified. Client signs Delivery Note and Stock Acceptance. Day 3–4.
Final invoice against weighbridge-confirmed tonnage. Client settles per agreed terms. Trade closes. Day 4.
AYCAS Commodities was incorporated in Harare on 27 August 2025 to bring disciplined commodities trading to the flows that matter regionally — agricultural imports into Zimbabwe and mineral exports from Zimbabwe.
