PRICING PHILOSOPHY

Market Aligned Approach

​

Shea butter pricing is determined by prevailing market conditions at source and along the export chain.
 
Our pricing approach reflects the realities of bulk commodity trade in West Africa and is designed to support executable transactions rather than fixed price lists.

PRICING BIAS

Prices are determined based on a combination of factors, including:

 

  • Product grade and specifications
  • Volume per shipment
  • Supply commitment (spot vs contracted)
  • Packaging format
  • Incoterm (preferably FOB)
  • Destination and logistics profile
  • Payment structure
​
​Unless otherwise stated, indicative prices are quoted on an Ex-Source / Ex-Factory basis and exclude taxes, logistics, duties, financing, and third-party costs.

Possible Price Volatility

Shea butter prices can change rapidly due to factors including:

 

  • Seasonal supply cycles
  • Farm-gate price movements
  • Currency fluctuations
  • Logistics and port-related constraints

 

 
These dynamics mean prices may shift within short timeframes.

Quotation Policy

To reflect market conditions accurately:

 

  • All formal quotations are valid for the day of issue only
  • Pricing is confirmed based on availability at the time of quotation
  • Prices cannot be held without contractual confirmation

 

This approach aligns with standard practice in bulk commodity trade.

Our Commercial Principle
 

Our objective is to price in a way that supports clarity, execution, and long-term commercial alignment.
 
We prioritize transparent communication and early engagement where market conditions affect pricing or execution.
