A Unique Online Exchange for Tobacco Leaf Sellers and Buyers
What is the Exchange?
The UTA offers an online trading platform to tobacco merchants, manufacturers and buyers dealing in surplus tobacco stock. We have uncommitted raw tobacco lots, production overruns and surplus stock available for tobacco buyers worldwide. Now traders have an opportunity to sell the surplus tobacco remains on their balance sheets to the highest bidders.
This is a paperless, digital trading platform designed for the post-pandemic environment.

How Does it Work?
The UTA online platform enables you to manage all selling, buying and shipping transactions in one place – from orders to shipping, communications, tracking, generating and filing documents, and even archiving. It enables considerable efficiencies, eliminating the need for traders to send representatives, reducing travel expenses and increasing profits.
Bids are visible to all involved and multiple buyers can compete for a batch. If the buyer requires product samples, the seller will send two sealed samples to the UTA sampling room at Andromeda Forwarding & Logistics’ facilities in Antwerp. The UTA will forward one sample to the potential buyer and retain the other for mediation in case a dispute arises.
