Who we are

Four commodities. One promise: what leaves our facility is exactly what your contract says.

Sunrise Commodity Nigeria Limited is a Nigerian sourcing and export company. We work directly with farmer clusters and charcoal producers — no layers of middlemen — bring every crop to our own facility for drying, cleaning and grading, and handle the export paperwork ourselves. You get one accountable counterparty from farm gate to bill of lading.

Cashew, soybeans, sesame and charcoal each have their own season, their own processing and their own numbers — and we quote all four on the specifications international buyers actually trade on.

Why Nigeria · why Ogbomoso

The sun does the work. We make sure it reaches you.

Nigeria sits where the West African savannah meets the forest belt: long, reliable sunshine, well‑drained soils and a dry season that cures crops naturally. Cashew trees planted around Ogbomoso decades ago now produce some of the largest, densest nuts on the continent. Further north, the same climate gives sesame its oil and soybeans their protein — and dense hardwoods their long, clean burn.
