We qualify supply, verify sellers on the ground, coordinate documentation and inspection, and build the kind of repeat procurement relationship that means you stop having to solve Nigeria from a distance.
Ekuro — a Yoruba word for "kernel": the essential, inseparable core.
Adulteration, inconsistent grading, and moisture control failures are well-documented risks in Nigerian-origin trade. We inspect and qualify before a seller ever reaches you.
You don't need to fly someone to Lagos to find out if a supplier is real. We already have.
Export documentation, inspection coordination, and LC processes are where deals stall. We manage that layer end-to-end, not just the introduction.
One point of contact through qualification, transaction, and delivery — not a handoff after the intro.
EU buyers of cocoa and palm oil face EUDR traceability obligations that most Nigerian smallholder supply chains aren't yet equipped to answer.
We build the traceability record your compliance team needs before it becomes a blocker.
| Commodity | Form | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Cashew Kernel · W240 / W320 |
Processed, shelled kernel | Also available: raw in-shell (RCN) for buyers who process in-house. |
| Sesame Seed | Cleaned, export-grade | Relevant to buyers diversifying away from disrupted origins. |
| Hibiscus | Dried calyces | Food, beverage, and cosmetic-grade supply available. |
| Cocoa | Beans, Grade I | EUDR-ready traceability documentation in development. |
| Shea Butter | Processed butter | Note: Nigeria restricts raw shea nut export — butter only. |
| Palm Oil | Crude / refined | Strongest fit for regional and West African buyers. |
| Palm Kernel | Kernel / PKO | Distinct from palm kernel shell — confirm which you need. |
| Dried Ginger | Split / whole / powder | High oleoresin content; spice, food and pharma buyers. |
| Charcoal | Export-grade lump | Distribution and retail supply chain buyers. |
Large operators must demonstrate deforestation-free, geolocated supply chains for cocoa and palm oil under EU law. Most Nigerian smallholder cocoa and palm oil moves through informal, untraceable channels — a real operational gap, not a paperwork formality.
Farm-level sourcing records, supplier qualification, and documentation coordination built around what your compliance team will actually be asked to show — the verified core, once you get past the shell.
Site visits, documentation checks, and quality qualification before any seller is represented to a buyer.
Supply matched to your grade, volume, timing, and destination — not a generic listing.
Documentation, inspection, and transaction execution through to delivery — and the start of a repeat channel.
$250–300 USD, one-time
An independent, written read on whether your requirement is realistically sourceable from verified Nigerian supply — before either side commits further. Covers supply availability, rough landed cost, and the documentation/verification steps your shipment would need.
Credited in full toward Tier 2 if you proceed.
5% of transaction value
Supplier qualification, negotiation, third-party inspection coordination, export documentation, and transaction management through to delivery — the complete engagement once you decide to proceed.
Your Tier 1 fee is deducted from this automatically.
