Oleg Kryukovskiy
GAFTA · FOSFA Arbitrator · Dubai, UAE
For more than twenty years, I have worked in the international grain and oilseed trade — from forwarding and operations to Head of Trading at one of the largest grain exporters and arbitration.
That path gave me a practical, inside view of the market: how deals are negotiated, how contracts are performed, where execution risks arise, and why disputes often begin long before a formal claim is made.
Today, I assist companies with contract execution, claims, dispute resolution and arbitration in international grain trade.
Arbitration
I am a qualified GAFTA and FOSFA arbitrator and also sit on the LMAA, DIAC and LCIA panels. My arbitration practice covers quality and condition claims, demurrage and laytime, non-performance and default under GAFTA and FOSFA standard forms.
Speaking and teaching
I am a regular speaker at Global Grain and Grain Forum Dubai and a lecturer at Grain Business Academy. I write @rationalzerno, a blog on international grain trade, and publish practice notes on this site in English and Russian.
Contact
I work in Russian and English. For an initial review of a contract or dispute, write to [email protected] or use the contact form.
