Who We Are
Commo18 connects global agricultural supply with strategic demand across the MEA region.
We operate at the intersection of trust, precision, and performance.
Built on the 15-year career of Pieter Defoor, former senior member of the marketing desk at a leading multinational, Commo18 was founded to restore what true brokerage stands for — relationships, integrity, and results.
Our focus is clear:
– Agricultural commodities, with a focus on grains and oilseeds
– Partnerships only with Tier 1 buyers and reputable suppliers
– Execution that delivers consistent value to both sides of the trade
From our base in Antwerp, Belgium — one of Europe’s historic trading hubs — we maintain direct access to origins and destinations.
This proximity allows us to stay close to the market, the product, and the people who move it.
Commo18 is not a volume-driven desk. It is a relationship-driven platform built on discretion, expertise, and performance.

Strategy. Perspective. Insight.
Commo18 delivers market insight grounded in experience, data, and presence.
We follow the grain markets from every angle — political, fundamental, and technical — to give our partners a complete view of risk and opportunity.
Our work combines:
– Political and trade-flow analysis to anticipate policy shifts and export trends
– Supply and demand monitoring across key producing and importing regions
– Technical futures analysis on major exchanges to identify timing and structure in the market
Our core business is built on grains — corn, barley, and wheat — supported by deep expertise in durum wheat, oilseeds, and sugar across all major origins.
This integrated approach allows us to connect strategy with execution, helping our clients act with confidence in volatile markets.
