One chain of custody, controlled from origin.
Bmac combines UK commercial discipline with a direct source-to-factory operation in Nigeria. Industrial buyers — refiners, fractionators, confectionery houses and cosmetics manufacturers — get reliable inputs, documented quality and a credible chain of custody from women-led collection through delivered product.
UK governance. Nigerian production. International supply.
United Kingdom
Commercial governance, contracting, technical engagement with industrial buyers, documentation oversight and international relationship management.
Nigeria — Sourcing
Direct sourcing across the Nigerian shea belt through women-led collection groups. Bmac-controlled aggregation hubs preserve village-level origin records.
Nigeria — Processing
Export-capable facility producing unrefined shea butter and supplying raw shea nuts, with food-safety controls and batch-level documentation handled at origin.
Eight controlled stages, from village to vessel.
Women Collection Groups
Shea nuts harvested, boiled, shelled and dried by women's groups across Nigeria's shea belt.
Aggregation Hubs
Bmac-controlled aggregation consolidates raw nuts close to source while preserving origin records and producer payment integrity.
Inbound Screening
Moisture, FFA risk, impurities and storage condition assessed before nuts enter the facility.
Origin Processing
Export-capable processing of kernels into unrefined shea butter under controlled, food-safe conditions.
Laboratory & QA
Batch-level testing against buyer specifications with documented record retention.
Industrial Packaging
Packed and labelled for refiners, fractionators, confectionery and cosmetics manufacturers.
Export Documentation
CoA, traceability, phytosanitary, packing list and commercial documentation managed end-to-end.
Delivered to Customer
Into speciality fats producers, confectionery houses and cosmetics manufacturers worldwide.
Sustainability built into the supply, not bolted on top.
Industrial buyers buy more than a product — they buy reliable inputs into their own sustainability programmes. Bmac's approach is grounded in three pillars that reinforce, rather than repeat, the operational controls already in our chain of custody.
Women-Led Collection
Direct engagement, pre-finance and long-term offtake build income stability for the women whose labour anchors the supply — the model proven at scale by industrial buyers such as AAK's Kolo Nafaso programme.
Local Value Addition
Following Nigeria's 2025 ban on raw shea nut exports, we process at origin — retaining manufacturing value, employment and skills within the producing country.
Long-Term Partnerships
Stable relationships with producer communities, industrial customers and technical partners — the basis for credible, scalable supply.
Industrial-grade compliance, not informal trading.
Quality, food safety, traceability and export documentation are controlled from origin — the same discipline industrial customers apply to their own production.
Certifications and compliance documents
Only certifications current and valid for the relevant operating entity or production facility are listed against any given consignment.
