Who we are

A direct line from West African producers to your factory floor

Comodi Trade is a Berlin-based commodities specialist supplying single-origin West African raw materials in industrial bulk to European manufacturers — led by unrefined Grade A shea butter from Bamako, Mali. We negotiate carrier and routing per shipment, hold ourselves to lab-verified quality standards, and structure terms so first-time buyers can verify product before settling the majority of the invoice.

Independent quality control laboratory analysis

Lab-Verified Quality

Every batch profile is documented against accredited reference values. Our current production sample was independently analysed by UBF Untersuchungs- und Forschungslaboratorium GmbH (ISO 17025:2018) — peroxide value 1.0, totox 2.3, water content 0.2 %, classic Grade A fatty-acid profile. Detailed batch-specific COAs available on request.

Buyer-Led Logistics

We coordinate sea-freight to your preferred European port — Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, or others on request. Routing chosen per shipment based on best carrier offer, not locked to a fixed lane.

Inspection of bulk shipment at port

Inspect Before You Pay

Standard terms are 30 % on order confirmation, 70 % after you receive and inspect the goods at destination. Quality verified before payment — a structural advantage over the upfront-LC defaults common in commodity trade.

The product

Unrefined Mali Shea Butter — Bulk Grade A

Single-origin, traditionally processed and chemical-free. It retains its full natural sterol and fatty-acid profile, making it suitable for cosmetics formulators and pharmaceutical bases where purity and provenance are non-negotiable. Food applications are scoped per enquiry.

Batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (UBF or equivalent ISO 17025 lab) available on request for buyers in regulated industries.
