Company Vision
At MEfirst, we envision a smarter, stronger, and more resilient global food and commodities trade. We believe every buyer deserves access to high-quality, regulation-compliant products, and every supplier deserves a path to fair, stable markets. That vision drives everything we do—from our product vetting and shipping strategy to our social impact programs and client care. Our goal is simple: build long-term partnerships grounded in trust, transparency, and mutual success.
Our Team
MEfirst is powered by a multidisciplinary team of seasoned professionals with deep roots in food safety, logistics, global trade, and market development. Our staff includes certified quality assurance experts, professors in food resilience, business strategists with MBAs and global finance experience, and operational veterans of some of the most complex export markets in the world. Together, we bring both technical fluency and hands-on knowledge to every deal.
Decades of Food Quality & Verification Expertise
Quality isn’t a checkbox—it’s a system. Our leadership team includes professionals including USFDA PCQI, CE, ISO9001 & FSSC22000, and HACCP standards. We bring this expertise to the field, vetting every supplier and ensuring each product meets or exceeds the destination country’s standards. SGS inspection or any other accredited inspecting company our customer prefers is our minimum baseline for all shipments, with Halal, Kosher, and other certifications coordinated upon request. Our high standards protect your operations, your reputation, and your bottom line.
Experience with Large-Scale Food Systems
We don’t just supply commodities. We help institutions and governments build food systems. MEfirst team members have authored policy papers, led academic programs, and advised on national food resilience planning across the Middle East and Africa. We understand the links between agriculture, public health, and market independence. Whether supporting ministries, UN projects, or large retail networks, we bring systemic thinking to every level of supply.
20+ Years in Logistics & Global Transport
MEfirst is built on decades of logistics expertise. We have moved containerized goods, flexitanks, air freight, perishables, and dry cargo through every major shipping hub. We manage FOB, CIF, and DAP deliveries with precision and transparency. With us, you don’t just get a shipment—you get a logistics partner who anticipates challenges, clears bottlenecks, and ensures goods arrive in-spec and on time.
Finance & International Trade Expertise
From SBLCs and Letters of Credit to structured deposits and escrow-backed deals, MEfirst has the financial systems in place to support every type of buyer. Our senior finance team includes professionals with MBAs and global banking experience, and we pride ourselves on tailoring payment structures to fit your banking profile. Our mission is to create smooth, trusted transactions that build confidence and future volume.
Global Trust & Long-Term Business Relationships
What sets MEfirst apart is not just our access to product or knowledge of trade. It’s the way we work. We invest in long-term relationships. We represent your interest with professionalism and persistence. We follow through. Many of our current client partnerships began years ago with a single custom order—and have grown into robust, multi-line supply chains built on trust. That’s our strength.
From Seeds to Sustainability
As part of our long-term vision, MEfirst supports small and startup farmers through the "From Seeds to Sustainability" program—a microloan and training initiative active in the West Bank and beyond. The program links pre-season purchase contracts with technical education, market access, and shared branding. This creates a model where farmers grow more, earn more, and reinvest profits into quality and scale. It's part of how we tie trade to food security and opportunity on the ground.
Work With Us
Whether you're sourcing global commodities, offering high-quality supply, or developing programs that intersect with trade, resilience, or food systems, we want to hear from you. MEfirst is always open to new partnerships that align with our mission of quality, trust, and impact.
