Haunui was founded in New Zealand in 1979. That heritage still defines how we operate — with the straightforwardness, integrity, and quiet reliability that New Zealand is trusted for around the world.
In 2010 we planted our operating roots in Brazil, one of the planet's great agricultural origins. From inside the Brazilian market — close to the mills, farms, and ports — we source sugar, coffee, soybeans and more, and we can structure payment solutions for Brazilian agricultural exports that outsiders simply cannot.
Today we operate across major global trade corridors, connecting producers at origin with buyers worldwide, and extending into Asian-origin supply such as urea. Different continents, one consistent discipline.
Every transaction runs the same institutional process, whatever the size.
Due diligence and financial verification on both sides before we transact.
Contracts and export documentation managed in-house, start to finish.
Independent survey inspection aligned to contract standards.
Payment under recognized ICC frameworks (UCP 600) — protecting everyone.
Trade is a business of trust. Here's who you're dealing with.
Founder of Haunui and its leader for over 30 years in the commodity business. Hugh has given the company its guidance and structure from the start, building the origination network and buyer relationships across Asia-Pacific and beyond that Haunui stands on today.
Two decades across global commodities, capital formation, and cross-border trade. Coordinates the compliance backbone of that work — sanctions, international banking regulation, and cross-border payment structuring — and engages the government and institutional stakeholders that keep market access open.
George is the foundation of Haunui's operations in Brazil. His long-standing local relationships and standing in the market are what make the business work on the ground. He leads Haunui's domestic team in Brazil across every aspect of execution — container and bulk loading, government documentation, and port operations.
A veteran of the commodity business with decades in the trade, Tariq is a deep well of market knowledge and one of Haunui's most valued advisors — providing senior guidance and the connectivity to open doors across the company's trade corridors.
Danny develops and manages Haunui's supplier and buyer relationships across China, ensuring compliance with Chinese government requirements on export and import. A scientist by training, he brings technical rigor to quality and a deep China network.
With Haunui for over a decade, coordinating operations for China's domestic suppliers and loading, as well as discharge for China-based clients. Manages logistics between suppliers and buyers to keep every shipment moving smoothly.
Drives origination and business development — identifying and qualifying new trade opportunities across Haunui's commodity lines. Brings over 20 years of channel partner leadership, marketing, and channel sales.
Trade in this sector carries real fraud risk, and every serious buyer runs due diligence. We make that easy on purpose. Haunui is a registered entity on the public registers of New Zealand and Brazil, and holds active export registrations with Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture, China Customs, and the United Nations.
