How a systematized supplier database transformed sourcing operations:
OrgaTerra Trading is an Estonian-based organic food ingredients trading company serving manufacturers and retailers across the European market. Founded by Youssef Hamdan (Joe), the company's deep focus is organic date derivatives and specializes in sourcing bulk organic ingredients and private label services, connecting buyers with certified suppliers across the EU and beyond.
In the fast-paced world of organic ingredient trading, speed is everything. With over 40% of organic industry transactions now occurring within Europe, sourcing has become the dominant channel, and the competition is fierce.
"In sourcing, over 90% of deals are done within two days. Clients won't wait - if you can't deliver fast, another supplier will."
Without a systematized database, traders are forced to rely on personal networks and luck, a risky strategy in an industry where response time determines success. Youssef estimates that over 90% of European companies in the organic ingredients space lack a properly organized supplier database, leaving them at a significant disadvantage.
Through Nutrada's B2B sourcing platform, OrgaTerra Trading gained access to a comprehensive, systematized database of verified suppliers across the organic ingredients industry. Key capabilities include:
Real-time supplier data: Access to verified suppliers with current availability and pricing
Extensive coverage: 1,000+ suppliers with 15,000+ products across the EU and beyond
Sourcing support: Quote collection, documentation requests, and supplier verification
No middleman model: Direct supplier relationships with full pricing transparency
"Without a database, you rely on luck to find something fast. Even if you're very well connected, you still need something that can power your sourcing. Nutrada's platform is fantastic for this."
With access to Nutrada's systematized database and real-time supplier data, Youssef sees a clear path to scaling his sourcing operations. In an industry where whoever has organized data becomes the market leader, Nutrada provides the competitive infrastructure that most European companies lack.
"If I can rely on Nutrada's platform and service, I'm confident it will generate sales every day. This will scale by itself."
