MSc or MBA for physical trading?

Currently working in a small-mid sized shop in Asia, my company does physical trading of soft/agricultural commodities. I would eventually like to work and live in Europe, ideally still doing physical trading. Which countries/cities would you recommend someone to target for physical commodity trading, and which schools are the best options? For example, does RSM in a trading hub like Rotterdam have a high placement rate for non-EU citizens in a field like physical trading?

I get that experiences counts for more than getting an MSc or MBA in physical trading, but realistically speaking, would going to school in Europe open more doors for a non-EU citizen?
