Raiffeisen AgriTrading Rhein-Main

What Raiffeisen AgriTrading Rhein-Main does

Raiffeisen AgriTrading Rhein-Main GmbH & Co. KG is a German agricultural commodity trading company headquartered in Cologne (Gaedestraße 9, 50968 Köln). Founded in 2021, it operates as a joint venture between Raiffeisen Waren-Zentrale Rhein-Main AG (Cologne) and Raiffeisen Waren GmbH (Kassel), consolidating grain, oilseed, and legume trading flows sourced from cooperative members and third-party suppliers. The firm sells into the 'further-processing industry,' serving industrial buyers such as mills, oilseed crushers, and feed producers, with logistics executed via rail and ship.

The business model is that of a B2B commodity intermediary, monetising trade spreads between cooperative-member supply and industrial demand. The company is structured as a GmbH & Co. KG (limited partnership), employs between 11 and 50 staff, and is led by Managing Directors Roman Möbus and Carl Offergeld. It holds GMP, REDcert, and REDcertEU certifications, qualifying it for food/feed safety procurement and for sustainable biofuel and biomass feedstock supply chains.

There is no proprietary technology platform, application, or API in evidence; competitive positioning rests on access to cooperative procurement networks, scale of parent-cooperative backing, certification-driven eligibility for sustainability-grade supply chains, and a partnership with Bio-Kontor GmbH that extends reach into organic and specialty crop segments. Operating geography is Germany only.
