COBI(Commodity Brokers International), a subsidiary of Hillcrescent Investments, was formed in 2016 after the demand for clear and transparent commodity brokering platform was identified. Zimbabwe is rich in both base and precious minerals, with a vast range of suppliers from small scale to large scale. Unlike the large scale miner, the small scale miner have the capacity to mine high quality grade ore of base minerals, but lack the prowess to market their product to international clients and the logistic know how to deliver their product cost effectively. COBI serves to bridge the gap between the buyer, be it local or international, and the miner by brokering sales and purchases at the most cost effective price while minimizing risk for all parties. COBI provides this unique service by incorporating into its brokering service:1. Legal consultancy, 2. Logistic consultancy and3. Risk management.
