How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Baghdad?

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

Who in Baghdad typically buys bulk shea butter?

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

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

Sample size and the route into Baghdad are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the MOH filings the Iraq importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Nigerian shea butter for Iraq

Iraq does not produce shea nuts. Gulf and Levant buyers import the fat as they do other tropical vegetable butters. Umm Qasr is the named door; Baghdad buyers take the inland haul. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Umm Qasr 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. MOH filings sit with the Iraq 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 Iraq 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 Umm Qasr. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
