How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Mumbai?

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

Who in Mumbai typically buys bulk shea butter?

West Coast container and cosmetics trade hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Mumbai delivery picture.

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

Sample size and the route into Mumbai are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the CDSCO filings the India importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for India

India does not grow shea as a commercial crop. A formulator in Mumbai or a soap plant in Gujarat is buying a Nigerian or West African fat landed at Nhava Sheva. CDSCO watches finished cosmetics; FSSAI watches edible fats. Nhava Sheva and Mundra are the usual West Coast doors for Mumbai and Delhi buyers. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Nhava Sheva 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. CDSCO filings sit with the India 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 India 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 Nhava Sheva. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
