Sourcing
At Engel Agro Trade & Logistics Ltd, we work closely with established aggregators, cooperatives, and trusted sourcing partners across Nigeria's major producing regions — the shea belt for shea butter, the kola-producing Southwest and Middle Belt for kola and bitter kola, and the dry northern regions for hibiscus.
Our long-term sourcing relationships provide reliable access to premium harvests, consistent product quality, stable supply volumes, and competitive commercial terms for international buyers.
Inspection & Grading
Every consignment is thoroughly inspected upon arrival at our handling facility. Foreign matter, broken or undersized pieces, color consistency, and moisture levels are carefully evaluated against agreed buyer specifications before products proceed to processing and packaging.
Drying & Treatment
Where applicable, products are properly dried to safe moisture levels to preserve quality and extend shelf life. Approved fumigation and pest-control treatments are applied when required for export compliance. Sensitive products such as hibiscus, kola nut, and bitter kola are handled with particular care to maintain their integrity, appearance, and freshness.
Packing
Packaging is tailored to the product type, shipment volume, and destination-market requirements. We utilize a range of export-grade packaging solutions including:
- Jute bags
- Polypropylene woven bags
- Vacuum-sealed retail packs
- Sealed cartons
- Food-grade containers and drums for oils and butters
All labeling and packaging specifications are aligned with buyer instructions and destination-country standards.
Documentation
Export documentation is prepared alongside processing and packaging — never as an afterthought. Depending on cargo and destination requirements, we provide:
- Phytosanitary Certificates
- Certificates of Origin
- Fumigation Certificates
- NEPC Documentation
- Commercial Invoices
- Packing Lists
- Other export compliance documents as required.
