Which ports should a Ireland buyer name on the quote?

Name Dublin. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island in Lagos. Inland cities in Ireland are served from those discharge ports, not from a local EMI warehouse.

Which Incoterms does EMI Agro quote for Ireland?

EXW, FOB or CIF, chosen by the Ireland buyer. Each term prices different services beyond the butter — factory gate in Ibadan, Lagos load, or freight and insurance to Dublin. There is no published EUR price list per kilogram.

Can a Ireland formulator see a COA before a first container?

A current Certificate of Analysis for the named grade is sent with the quote pack. Trial lots for Ireland start at 5 tonnes and still travel with a batch COA. Every production batch ships with its own COA.

Supplier by country

Nigerian shea butter for Ireland

Ireland does not grow shea. The butter on a Ireland COA is West African — EMI Agro presses it in Ibadan from wild-collected nuts. Dublin is both the port and the buying city; HPRA watches finished cosmetics, not the bulk drum itself. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Dublin 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. HPRA filings sit with the Ireland 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 Ireland 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 Dublin. Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
