How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Bogotá?

Containers are billed to Cartagena. Bogotá buyers arrange the inland haul from that terminal unless the quote names a delivered Incoterm. EMI Agro does not operate a warehouse in Bogotá.

Who in Bogotá typically buys bulk shea butter?

National buying hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Bogotá delivery picture.

Can EMI Agro deliver a sample to Bogotá before a container?

Sample size and the route into Bogotá are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the INVIMA filings the Colombia importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for Colombia

Shea trees do not grow as a commercial crop in Colombia; the fat is imported. West African Vitellaria paradoxa is the botanical source. INVIMA is the sanitary authority; Cartagena and Buenaventura split the coasts for Bogotá. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Cartagena is the usual discharge.

Ask for a batch COA on a NIS 571:2013 basis: free fatty acid, peroxide value, moisture, colour and melting point. Reject lots that smell sharply rancid or pour like liquid oil at room temperature. INVIMA filings sit with the Colombia importer — they do not replace a COA.

Trial lots start at 5 tonnes; standard orders start at 20 tonnes. Send the request even if you need less — EMI Agro reviews every Colombia enquiry against current production of 40 tonnes per week of finished shea butter and can schedule rolling shipments. Lead time is Ibadan production plus ocean time to Cartagena. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
