The World Merchants office

Our Story

The World Merchants was founded in 2015 with a clear mission: to simplify global commodity trading and create value for businesses on both sides of the supply chain. What started as a small trading desk in Dubai has grown into a trusted name in international B2B commodity trading.

Our founders, with decades of combined experience in commodities, logistics, and international trade, recognized the need for a trading partner who could offer not just competitive prices, but also transparency, reliability, and expert guidance through the complexities of global trade.

Today, we operate across multiple continents, serving clients in food and beverage, manufacturing, agriculture, and energy sectors. Our success is built on long-term relationships, ethical business practices, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
