Who we are

A direct line from African producers to your factory floor

Comodi Trade is a Berlin-based commodities company supplying African raw materials in industrial bulk to manufacturers, in three lines: cosmetic ingredients, led by unrefined Grade A shea butter from Bamako, Mali; dried fruit; and green coffee and cocoa beans. We negotiate carrier and routing per shipment and agree the specification of every lot in writing before it ships.

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

Specified Before It Ships

Every lot is specified in writing before it leaves origin — grade, limits and the document set, prepared against your destination's import requirements rather than a generic template. What arrives is what was agreed.

Our lead 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.
