“At Tawu iya, we back busi esses that st e gthe fi a cial i f ast uctu e a d imp ove ma ket esilie ce,” said Fahad Bi Muamma , chief i vestme t office of Tawu iya. “Maalexi has built a discipli ed, isk-focused platfo m that co ects physical ag icultu al t ade with eme gi g digital asset i f ast uctu e.

Ove 36 mo ths of live ope atio s, Maalexi has built a ve ificatio a d isk ma ageme t laye fo physical ag icultu al t ade that has delive ed measu able esults ac oss fou ma kets (UAE, Saudi A abia, I dia a d the U ited States):
