# Agro Exporter

> Cross-border settlement for agricultural trade where no shared banking route exists between buyer and seller.

## The scenario

A Brazilian sugar exporter has a confirmed buyer in Angola. The product is ready for shipment. The buyer has funds in local currency. Neither party has a shared banking route — no correspondent bank covers this corridor.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Exporter — Brazil" icon="wheat-awn">
    Cannot receive international wire from Angola. No correspondent banking exists in this corridor. Does not know how to structure a compliant cross-border receipt.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Buyer — Angola" icon="money-bill">
    Has funds in local currency. Cannot access USD wire easily. No verified business relationship with the exporter — no compliance on either side.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## How Pythas solves it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Both parties onboard with Pythas">
    Pythas completes KYB on both the exporter and the buyer. Both entities are screened and verified. This establishes the compliance foundation for the transaction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buyer converts local funds to USDT">
    Buyer converts local currency to USDT via their local exchange or Pythas OTC desk. USDT is sent to the client-dedicated Fireblocks wallet assigned by Pythas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pythas executes off-ramp settlement">
    Pythas converts USDT to USD via the OTC Liquidity Provider and wires USD to the exporter registered bank account — or settles via PIX in BRL if preferred by the exporter.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Trade completes">
    Exporter receives confirmed payment. Shipment is released. Full transaction trail is documented and auditable on both sides.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  Pythas was the only route that allowed this transaction to occur. No bank in either country offered a direct correspondent path. Settlement completed within 48 hours of fund receipt.
