Maya Stordiau
A classic approach to trading.

Origins worked with
- China
- Argentina
- South Africa
- West Africa
Maya Stordiau learned the trade in Rotterdam alongside Léo Elfferich, a specialist in edible groundnuts. A classic school of commodity trading: know your product, understand the market and follow every operation with rigour.
Her career led her to work with several origins — China, Argentina, South Africa, then West Africa — giving her a concrete knowledge of the chain, from origin to destination market.
Also trained in social economics, she combines commercial discipline with particular attention to origin, to producers and to the relationships that build a lasting supply chain.
This is the culture of the trade she brings to MayaTrading today: an identifiable origin, documented quality and end-to-end follow-up.
The classic trade of commodity trading. Today’s requirements.
Our approach
MayaTrading favours traceable organic supply chains, long-term relationships with origin and documented quality.
Our ambition is to build reliable supply chains between African producers and international buyers.
