About EMI Agro Industries Limited

EMI Agro Industries Limited is a shea butter manufacturer and exporter registered with the CAC, Nigeria under RC Number 9364495. The factory is at Moniya Industrial Zone, Moniya–Iseyin Expressway, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. Hours are Monday–Saturday, 08:00–17:00 (Africa/Lagos).

We produce Unrefined Grade A shea butter (cold-pressed, wild-collected), Refined N-RBD shea butter, and Shea press cake (byproduct), to NIS 571:2013. Buyers are cosmetics, soap, food and pharmaceutical companies, plus distributors and private-label houses. Sales, export and quality each have a named mailbox: sales@emiagroindustries.com, export@emiagroindustries.com and quality@emiagroindustries.com.

We are a member of the Global Shea Alliance. Membership signals that we operate inside the industry association for shea; it is not itself a product certificate. Held and pending registrations are listed on the Certifications & Quality page.

The short version: make the butter, name the lot, tell the truth about certificates, and quote the service the buyer actually wants.

A trader can offer shea. A manufacturer can show you the press, the batch code and the laboratory release. That is the difference we sell.

The plant sits at Moniya Industrial Zone on the Moniya–Iseyin Expressway in Ibadan, inland from the Lagos load ports of Apapa (Lagos) and Tin Can Island (Lagos). It is purpose-built for shea: intake, press, filtration, laboratory, packing and climate-held storage.

Current finished capacity is 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter. Over the course of 2027 we are expanding that to 200 tonnes per week of finished shea butter. The weekly figure is the one to plan against — a standard 20-tonne order is half a current week; a rolling programme is scheduled against the same press, not against a trader's mixed stock.

How much of that week can be committed to one buyer is confirmed on the volume quote. We review every enquiry, including lots below the published trial minimum, against current production.

Three products leave Ibadan. Specification tables, typical uses and the contact product code sit on each product page.

Wild-collected shea nuts via a cooperative network of 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. The tree is Vitellaria paradoxa (syn. Butyrospermum parkii). Collection is seasonal; intake QC (moisture, defects, batch coding) is how a wet or mixed lot is kept off the press.

Nigeria is a shea-producing country. We do not claim a world-share percentage. What we can state is the belt we buy from, the cooperative model, and that the fat is pressed in Ibadan rather than collected as trader butter in Lagos.

Region profiles and the ranked producing-countries list sit in the shea-producing regions directory and the West Africa list.

EMI Agro Industries manufactures shea butter in Ibadan, Nigeria — from wild-collected shea nuts bought from women's cooperatives to packed drums on a Lagos-bound container. The ten steps below are the same sequence every lot follows. Nothing is traded in. Kernels come in; tested butter and press cake go out.

For a buyer, this process is how we hold free fatty acid, moisture and colour to Grade A, issue a Certificate of Analysis on every batch, and keep a batch code from the cooperative lot to the export pack.

Production is to NIS 571:2013. Test methods are AOCS / ISO. A lot that misses the specification does not pack.

Certificates for held registrations, and a sample Certificate of Analysis, are on the quality page and the COA explainer.

Standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Trial lots start at 5 tonnes. Smaller volumes can still be requested — we review every enquiry against current production.

Quoted per Incoterm. EXW, FOB and CIF attract different prices because each term adds different freight, insurance or local services beyond the shea butter itself.

Lead time is Ibadan production time plus ocean time to the named port. EMI Agro produces 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Exact weeks depend on the quantity on the purchase order.

Payment terms are confirmed on the quote. There is no published price per kilogram. Start with a quote, COA or sample request, or read the sample-to-container playbook.

Seven buyer types have their own pages: indie cosmetic brands, contract manufacturers, distributors and wholesalers, soap makers, food manufacturers, pharmaceutical buyers and private-label buyers. Application pages add the specification table for cosmetics, soap, food, chocolate (CBE) and pharmaceutical excipient use.

Destination pages cover European Union, United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, China, India, Middle East, Latin America. If your market is not listed yet, send the enquiry anyway — the factory and the quote process are the same.
