Who we are

Connecting African produce to global demand

Folalabi Global Trading Limited is built on long-standing agricultural experience through our affiliate companies, Folalabi Farms (Nigeria) Limited and Folalabi Farms (UK) Limited. We combine real farm-level insight with practical international logistics and trade know-how.

Working from Ajao Estate in Lagos State, we coordinate closely with our affiliate, Folalabi Farms (Nigeria) Limited, and a wider network of farmers, cooperatives and processors to supply quality Nigerian produce. This includes premium cashew nuts from Kogi and Ondo State, fresh and processed food items such as yams, tomatoes, eggs, yam flour, garri and other African staples, alongside cash crops like cocoa and selected grains.

Our role is to act as a structured bridge between these producers and serious buyers around the world—managing quality, documentation, pricing and logistics so that both sides can trade with confidence.

In addition to exports, we also support imports of key food items and raw materials into Nigeria to serve local demand and strengthen the wider Folalabi group’s supply chain.

Folalabi Global Trading Limited operates as a separate legal entity and is an affiliate of Folalabi Farms (Nigeria) Limited and Folalabi Farms (UK) Limited.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

A few quick answers to common questions from buyers and trading partners looking to work with Folalabi Global Trading Limited.

What products can you export?

Our focus is on Nigerian-origin food items and agricultural commodities, with a strong emphasis on premium cashew nuts. Core lines include cashew kernels and in-shell cashew, yams and yam flour, garri and other cassava products, tomatoes and African staples, cocoa, grains and a range of oils, seeds and nuts such as shea butter, sesame seeds and peanuts, subject to destination-country regulations.

Do you handle cashew nuts, shea butter, sesame seeds and peanuts?

Yes. Cashew nuts are a key export line for us, supplied as raw kernels (including grades such as W180, W210, W240, W320 & LWP) and in-shell where appropriate. We also support buyers who need shea butter, sesame seeds and groundnuts (peanuts) for food, cosmetics or industrial use. Each enquiry is reviewed individually to confirm quality standards, documentation and feasible volumes from Nigeria or nearby West African origins.

What is your typical minimum order?

For most export products we normally work at pallet or container level, rather than very small parcels. For cashew nuts, a typical starting point is around 1×20ft container (approximately 13–15 MT), though we can discuss smaller trial quantities for new relationships where feasible.

Can you arrange shipping and documentation?

We help coordinate export documentation, inspections and practical logistics from Lagos, and can work alongside your preferred freight forwarder where required. Our role is to ensure that what happens on the ground matches the shipping plan and regulatory requirements.

How long does shipping from Nigeria usually take?

Transit times depend on the product, route and shipping line. As a general guide, sea freight from Lagos to major European ports can take around 3–5 weeks from vessel departure, with longer times to North America and parts of Asia. Air freight is faster but usually suitable for higher-value or time-sensitive consignments only.

How do I start a conversation?
