TRADING
Trading value with purpose — connecting capital, commodities, and communities across the Global South.
The trading business is a central pillar of KICL’s economic strategy, functioning as the operational arm that transforms structured development capital into real-world cash flow, market connectivity, and cross-border impact. Within the ODT Program, Kingdom’s trading activities help monetize tokenized assets and resource-based contracts, enabling ethical, Shariah-compliant trade in commodities such as energy, minerals, food, and medical supplies. By linking Africa, the Middle East, and Asia through reliable supply chains and AI-enhanced logistics, the trading division not only supports KICL’s mission to facilitate inclusive development—it also serves as a practical mechanism for distributing capital, building sovereign resilience, and advancing regional integration.

Our team will save clients hundreds of thousands of dollars annually in logistics expenses. We do so by increasing the load ability of ocean freight containers, thus reducing freight costs. In addition, we often eliminate the need for air shipments or negotiate for lower rates, and seek for other alternatives to further reduce shipping costs.
