Phillimore Services is a UK-registered commodity trading company sourcing premium cocoa beans, cashew nuts, sesame seeds, and soya beans directly from African growing regions for buyers across the Middle East, Latin America, and beyond.
Every consignment is sampled, graded, and documented at origin before loading — giving buyers consistent quality, lot-level traceability, and zero surprises at the destination port.
Fermented and sun-dried beans from West Africa's premier growing belts — Ondo and Cross River states. Sourced through direct relationships with cooperatives and established buying agents with decades of field experience.
In-shell raw cashew nuts sourced from cooperative networks across Nigeria's Middle Belt. Cleaned, graded, and moisture-tested prior to loading — ready for processing on arrival at destination.
Hulled and natural sesame seeds from Jigawa and Benue growing states — cleaned, sorted, and tested for purity and oil content. A primary choice for tahini producers, food processors, and cosmetic ingredient buyers in the Middle East.
Non-GMO soya beans from East African growing regions, supplying food manufacturers, animal feed producers, and soya oil processors. Tested for protein content, moisture, and free fatty acids prior to shipment.
We serve buyers across three primary regions — with documentation, logistics, and shipping terms tailored to the requirements of each market.
Four stages separate a cooperative's harvest from a container arriving at your destination port. We manage every one of them.
We work directly with vetted farmer cooperatives and licensed buying agents across African growing regions — ensuring supply at origin rather than at open market.
→Every batch is sampled, graded, and tested for moisture, purity, and defects by an independent inspector before any container booking is confirmed.
→We handle NEPC registration, phytosanitary certificates, Certificate of Origin, packing lists, and commercial invoices — all documentation required for your port of entry.
→Containerised at origin port and shipped FOB or CIF to your nominated destination. Tracking and documentation shared throughout transit until handover is complete.
→Phillimore Services Limited is registered in England and Wales, giving international buyers a familiar and legally accountable counterparty in a regulated jurisdiction — while our sourcing network reaches deep into African growing regions most international traders access only through intermediaries.
We buy at farmgate level through established relationships with cooperatives and buying agents — not from open-market aggregators — which means better traceability and more consistent quality across consignments.

From NEPC registration and phytosanitary certification to Certificate of Origin and customs documentation — we handle the full paperwork chain so buyers don't have to.
We trade on FOB (Lagos or Onne port) or CIF (your nominated port) terms, with FCL and consolidated shipment options depending on volume requirements.
