Hi Isaac,

I'm Jay Chun, Account Executive at Tridge — we bridge the global agri-food supply chain, connecting buyers and suppliers across borders through transparent market intelligence, AI-powered data, and on-the-ground expertise in 60+ countries.

I noted Vidocq Farms & Exports aggregates and exports cocoa powder, sesame seed, shea butter, ginger and gum arabic, and that export mix aligns with the product-level trade-flow signals Tridge tracks which surface rapid origin-share movements.

Three demand signals are directly relevant to Vidocq's export position right now:

• Rapid origin-demand spike detection — Tridge trade-flow data surfaces 300%+ export growth in an emerging origin within 90 days, which implies Vidocq can detect early buyer shifts for Nigerian sesame or shea before competing origins command higher prices
• Customs-verified buyer profiles — Tridge maintains 300,000+ customs-verified buyer profiles and company-level B/L records, enabling identification of which importers have been purchasing Nigerian-origin cocoa, sesame or shea and the price bands they operate in
• Decision-layer presence via Tridge Eye — Tridge Eye is an AI-powered dashboard that surfaces company transaction analysis when buyers compare origins, so Vidocq's export capability needs to appear inside that sourcing workflow to be visible to active importers

Tridge's trade-flow and price intelligence layers detect origin-share shifts and price-band movements ahead of mainstream indexes, and that visibility is the specific market context intersecting with Vidocq's current export mix.

For Vidocq's cocoa powder, sesame seed and shea butter exports this means there is an opportunity to position against competing West African origins during early sourcing windows identified by trade-flow surges.

Tridge's buyer intelligence maps who is actually importing a given product, how frequently they buy it, and at what price bands — that customs-verified view translates into a prioritised list of active importers for Nigerian-origin sesame, shea and cocoa that aligns with procurement cycles.

When those buyers research origins and shortlist suppliers, the decision occurs inside Tridge Eye; being present in that decision environment increases the chance your export capability is considered during live sourcing decisions rather than discovered after the fact.

Hi Isaac, following up on "Vidocq: Q1 buyer sourcing for sesame, shea" — customs records show Turkish buyers increased purchases from Ethiopia; Ethiopian exports to Turkey rose +83% in 2023 and a further +14% in 2024, reaching about a 4% share of Turkey's sesame imports.
For your exports, this likely means Nigerian shipments into Turkey have become more volatile and some buyers are switching to Ethiopian supply instead.
If this is relevant, happy to share the origin‑share numbers for sesame in Turkey — just reply and I’ll send them.

Hi Isaac,
Following my note on "sesame seed buyer shift — Ethiopia gaining market share," buyers in the sesame seed category are actively shortlisting suppliers now.
If Vidocq Farms & Exports Ltd isn't appearing when they search, your competitors may be first.
If you'd like to see the active buyer profile breakdown for sesame seed in your target market, just reply.
