Our History

From Alpha Trading Partners to a New Era of Global Trade

A journey rooted in Ethiopian agriculture spanning over two decades of excellence, trust, and global partnership.

From Alpha Trading Partners to a New Era of Global Trade

2000- Addis Ababa

in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. From our inception, we have been driven by a singular mission: to provide the world with superior Ethiopian agricultural products and services.

As ATP, we quickly established ourselves as a trusted and reliable global trade partner, exporting from the heartland of Ethiopia’s rich agricultural landscape to markets across the globe. Over the years, our commitment to quality and impeccable service allowed us to grow into an industry leader in agricultural exports.

We built a robust operational network encompassing procurement, processing, warehousing, transport, and containerized export, becoming a full-service supplier with a flexible and resilient logistical network.

A New Chapter: Rebranding as Valam Global

2019

In 2019, building on two decades of success and experience, we embarked on a new chapter with the launch of Valam Global Trading PLC.

"World's Best Partner in Grain Business"

Leveraging our worldwide dynamic networking to negotiate and work with major companies across all continents.

This rebranding represents not a departure from our roots, but an evolution of our legacy. While our name has changed, our core identity, values, and commitment to excellence remain the same.

We are still the same dedicated team, operating from our established headquarters in the Bedesta Building in Addis Ababa, and driven by the same passion for connecting the world to the best of Ethiopian agriculture.

Unwavering Commitment to Quality and Community

Beyond excellence in trade, we invest in quality infrastructure and social responsibility.

Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, spanning over 5,000 square feet, is equipped with modern machinery for cleaning, sorting, and processing, ensuring that our products meet the highest standards of quality.

Beyond excellence in trade, we invest in quality infrastructure and social responsibility.
