Davinor Trade & Agro · International Trade & Agribusiness Operations
Structuring of international commercial and agribusiness operations.
From product origin to the coordination of the international operation.
Davinor structures and coordinates commercial and agribusiness operations, integrating suppliers, buyers, documentation, contracts, logistics and operational follow-up.
Our methodology organises the different stages of the operation, taking into account the characteristics of the product, the requirements of the markets involved and the responsibilities of each participating party.
Specialisations
Structured operations for different production chains.
Live cattle export
Structuring and coordination of operations involving the acquisition, identification, documentation, sanitary preparation, transport and export of live cattle.
Agricultural commodities
Structuring of commercial operations involving agricultural products and commodities.
Sugar and derivatives
Commercial, documentary and logistics organisation of operations involving sugar and related products.
Grains
Structuring of commercial operations involving soybean, corn, rice and other production chains.
Cross-border operations
Coordination of commercial operations with international components.
Agribusiness structuring
Organisation of operations involving producers, industries, suppliers, buyers and logistics structures.
Davinor does not act as a mere product intermediary. We work on the structuring and coordination of the stages of the operation, according to the contracted scope.
Operating model
An international operation requires coordination across every stage.
International commercial operations may involve multiple parties, contractual responsibilities, documentary requirements and logistics and regulatory procedures.
Davinor structures and coordinates these stages, organising information and processes to support the execution of the operation.
Origination
Commercial structuring
Counterparty analysis
Contractual governance
Document organisation
Logistics planning
Operational coordination
Operation follow-up
Davinor does not replace the agents legally responsible for certification, inspection, transport or customs clearance. Each function is performed by the competent professionals and authorities.
Livestock Export Operations
Structuring of live cattle export operations.
Organisation, governance and follow-up from origin to destination.
Davinor structures and coordinates live cattle export operations, integrating commercial planning, acquisition, individual identification, documentation, sanitary preparation, logistics and operational follow-up.
Our work considers the particularities of the operation, the applicable requirements and the responsibilities of the agents involved at each stage.
Operational chain
Stages of the international livestock operation.
Reference sequence used to organise the information of the operation.
- 01
Planning
Preliminary definition of the operation, number of animals, origin, destination and operational needs.
- 02
Selection
Organisation of the information related to the selection and identification of the animals.
- 03
Acquisition
Documentary and commercial coordination of the acquisition procedures.
- 04
Domestic transport
Planning of the information related to the movement of the animals.
- 05
Sanitary preparation
Documentary follow-up of the sanitary requirements and applicable procedures.
- 06
Pre-export facility
Coordination of the information regarding the entry, stay and departure of the animals, whenever this stage applies.
- 07
International documentation
Organisation and follow-up of the documents required for the export operation.
- 08
International logistics
Coordination of the information related to transport and to international transit conditions.
- 09
Follow-up
Recording and monitoring of the planned stages until the conclusion of the contracted operational scope.
These stages do not constitute universal regulatory requirements. The need for a pre-export facility, quarantine, authorisations and other procedures depends on the legislation and requirements applicable to each specific operation.
Sanitary and documentary governance
Documentation and compliance in international livestock operations.
Examples of documents and procedures that may be relevant depending on the operation.
- Identification and origin of the animals
- Animal transit documentation
- Records of sanitary examinations
- Pre-export facility documentation, where applicable
- Sanitary requirements of the importing country
- International Veterinary Health Certificate
- Relevant authorisations and licences
- Transport documentation
- Commercial and customs documentation
- Operational receipts and records
The documentation required varies according to the species, the purpose, the destination, the international transit and the rules in force.
The issuance of sanitary certificates and the authorisation of exports are the responsibility of the competent authorities. Davinor works on documentary organisation and coordination according to the contracted scope, and does not issue International Veterinary Health Certificates, sanitary authorisations or licences reserved to the competent authorities.
Operational Compliance Checkpoints
Operational compliance checkpoints.
References used in documentary organisation and in the follow-up of the stages of the operation.
Origin
Organisation of the provenance, identification and documentation information of the product at origin.
Transit country, where applicable
Survey of the documents and conditions related to any transit through third countries.
Country of destination
Compilation of the requirements informed by the importing market for prior documentary review.
Animal health
Documentary follow-up of the applicable examinations, records and sanitary procedures.
Logistics
Organisation of the information on transport, routes, timelines and conditions foreseen in the operation.
Shipment
Documentary review of the loading and departure stages and of the corresponding operational records.
The checkpoints are internal instruments for organisation and documentary review. They do not constitute authorisations issued by Davinor, and the requirements vary according to the product, the destination and the legislation applicable to each operation.
