Refined N-RBD shea butter for food manufacturing in Vietnam
Refined N-RBD shea butter for food manufacturing shipped from Lagos to Vietnam.
Summary
Why this grade in Vietnam
Vietnam does not grow shea as a commercial crop. Refined N-RBD shea butter for food manufacturing is imported from West Africa. EMI Agro loads at Apapa and Tin Can Island for Ho Chi Minh (Cat Lai) (typical ocean range 32–50 days). DAV filings sit with the importer in Vietnam.
Duty, documents and clearance live on the import guide for Vietnam. Packs, quote basis and ports live on the supplier page.
Nigerian shea butter for Vietnam
Vietnam does not grow shea commercially. Bulk shea butter is imported from the West African belt. Cat Lai serves Ho Chi Minh City; Hai Phong serves Hanoi. DAV is not NMPA. EMI Agro works with 5,000+ women collectors in Kwara, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi. Ho Chi Minh (Cat Lai) 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. DAV filings sit with the Vietnam 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 Vietnam 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 Ho Chi Minh (Cat Lai). Quotes are EXW, FOB or CIF; each term prices different services beyond the butter.
Two questions. We show the grade, the documents that usually apply and the next step — we do not invent a price.
Recommended specifications for food manufacturing
| Parameter | Target for food manufacturing | Why it matters | Test method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free fatty acid (FFA) | Available on request | Taste, smoke behaviour and frying or shortening performance; food buyers write the tightest free fatty acid on the site. | AOCS Ca 5a-40 / ISO 660 |
| Peroxide value (PV) | Available on request | Oxidation clock for a fat that will sit in a plant silo and a finished food. | AOCS Cd 8-53 |
| Moisture and volatiles | Available on request | Water drives hydrolysis and microbial risk in an edible fat. | AOCS Ca 2b-38 / ISO 662 |
| Slip melting point | Available on request | Sets plasticity in shortenings and melt in coatings; consistency beats the absolute number. | AOCS Cc 3-25 |
| Colour | Available on request | Neutral fat must not tint a filling or coating. | AOCS Cc 13e-92 |
| Unsaponifiable matter | Available on request | Identity; refining lowers it slightly. | AOCS Ca 6a-40 |
