Who we are

The Export House Behind Three Origin Storefronts

Afri Exports began in 2010 as a cashew desk in Mtwara and grew into a multi-commodity export house. Today one team runs sourcing, testing and shipping for cashew, vanilla and sesame — so buyers who need more than one crop deal with one counterparty, one contract style and one quality standard.

Three origins, mapped

Tanzania for cashew and sesame, Madagascar's Sava region and Uganda for vanilla — each with its own grower network and intake records.

One quality protocol

The same written gates apply to every crop: sampling plan, crop-specific lab panel, tolerance sheet and sign-off before despatch.

Book Ahead of Three Harvest Calendars

Cashew moves October to January, Madagascar vanilla cures land mid-year, and Uganda crops twice annually. Buyers who commit early get first allocation when each window opens.

Our discipline

The Same Standard, Whatever the Crop

Bought at the Farm Gate

We contract directly with grower groups and curers in each origin — no anonymous aggregators between the field and our intake records.

One Protocol, Three Crops

Cashew, vanilla and sesame all pass the same written quality gates: sampling plan, crop-specific lab panel, tolerance sheet, sign-off.

Lot-Level Paper Trail

Every consignment carries a lot number linking test results, intake records and origin details — auditable long after delivery.

Origin-Matched Logistics

Each commodity moves through the corridor that suits it — Dar es Salaam and Mtwara for containers, Toamasina and Mombasa for vanilla.

Why Importers Consolidate With Us

“We started with a single container of kernels and now take sesame on the same contract cycle. Having one counterparty for two commodities halves the vetting work our compliance team has to repeat each season.”
Vikram ShenoyFounder, Malabar Ingredient Traders · Mangalore, India
“Every lot arrives with the assay attached and a lot number we can trace back if a customer asks. For a re-exporter working across the Gulf, that paper trail is worth more than a small discount elsewhere.”
Mariam Al-SuwaidiPurchasing Director, Al Madar Foods Trading · Sharjah, UAE
“Our mill runs on consistency, and their sesame has held the same purity band across every delivery this year. When we trialled their cashew line, the same discipline showed up in the very first container.”
Omar El-SayedOperations Manager, Delta Seed Mills · Alexandria, Egypt
“They answered our first enquiry with real numbers — availability, indicative pricing, vessel options to Beirut — inside a day. Two seasons on, that responsiveness has never slipped.”
