AJC International

What we’d expect selling here to look like

AJC International buys and sells frozen meat, poultry, pork, seafood and vegetable products between food suppliers and retailers, distributors and processors around the world. It is a trading sale: the seller works both sides, marketing a supplier's product and finding buyers abroad, with price, timing, credit and shipping all part of each deal. Day to day, that means tracking market prices, quoting product to an importer or distributor, and coordinating containers, documents and payment terms until the load arrives.

What it builds, by career stage

Breaking in

For trader assistants, sales coordinators and those aiming for a first commodity trading role, it builds a hands-on grasp of export documents, shipping schedules and how a frozen food order moves from plant to port.

Building

For traders, account managers and those working toward running their own book, it builds skill at negotiating price and terms across currencies and cultures with buyers and suppliers who trade repeatedly.

Leading

For sales managers, regional trading heads and those preparing to lead a desk, it builds the ability to manage market risk, credit exposure and supplier relationships across several countries and product categories at once.

Where it can take you

The experience transfers to commodity trading, export sales and import sourcing roles in protein, seafood and produce, and to sales roles at food processors and foodservice distributors. It also fits freight forwarding, cold-chain logistics and trade finance sales, where the same shipping and credit knowledge applies.
