How does Nigerian shea butter physically reach Istanbul?

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

Who in Istanbul typically buys bulk shea butter?

Cosmetics and food manufacturing hub. The country supplier page holds pack and documentation questions; this page is the Istanbul delivery picture.

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

Sample size and the route into Istanbul are confirmed on the quote. A sample does not replace the TITCK filings the Turkey importer still makes on a commercial shipment.

Shea Butter Supplier in Istanbul, Turkey

Bulk unrefined Grade A and refined N-RBD shea butter for Istanbul buyers, shipped from Lagos to Istanbul (Ambarli) with a COA per batch.

Nigerian shea butter for Turkey

Turkey does not produce shea nuts. Gulf and Levant buyers import the fat as they do other tropical vegetable butters. Ambarli serves Istanbul manufacturers; Mersin is the Mediterranean alternative. TITCK is not CPNP. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Istanbul (Ambarli) 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. TITCK filings sit with the Turkey 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 Turkey 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 Istanbul (Ambarli). Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
