Core offering

Frey is a commodities trading and logistics company that sources, moves, and markets containerized agricultural commodities (soybeans, wheat, corn, DDGS, soybean meal, coffee, barley, sorghum, lupins, lentils, chickpeas, and cotton) globally. It combines proprietary technology, including the MyFrey trade execution platform, with freight capabilities across ocean, inland, and equipment services to connect small businesses, independent farmers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and third-party traders to global markets.

Product overview

Frey operates as a unified commodities trading and logistics platform rather than a modular product suite. The core Frey's platform encompasses three integrated service pillars: (1) Trading — sourcing, moving, and marketing raw materials globally, (2) Logistics — freight capabilities covering ocean, inland transportation and equipment, and (3) Technology — proprietary trade execution platforms. The MyFrey portal serves as the primary customer-facing interface, enabling order placement and management. The company also publishes commodity market insights, case studies, and the TwinTrade optimization methodology. Frey is positioned as a challenger in the containerized agricultural commodities market, serving customers, producers (farmers), and suppliers.
