Where Nigeria’s finest sesame meets European standards.
Nirel Green Foods Nigeria sources, quality-oversees, and supplies export-grade sesame seed — traceable from Nigerian cooperative to European table.
The supply chain bridge between West Africa and Europe.
Nirel Green Foods Nigeria is a Lagos-rooted, Barcelona-connected agri-commodity sourcing and supply company. We sit at the intersection of deep Nigerian supply chain knowledge and European market fluency — combining on-the-ground processing partnerships in Nigeria with direct commercial presence in Europe.
That dual positioning is our edge. We are not a typical trading house. We are a quality-focused sourcing partner that manages the full chain from farm cooperative to port documentation — so buyers receive not just sesame seed, but confidence in its origin. We start with sesame. Our vision is to become the most trusted supply chain bridge between West African agricultural producers and European quality markets — one verified commodity, one trusted buyer relationship at a time.
From Nigerian farm to European table.

Nigeria exports more sesame than any country on earth. Yet Europe remains underserved.
The EU pays the highest price per metric ton of any destination globally — yet receives only ~16% of Nigerian sesame exports, predominantly through commodity traders rather than quality-focused suppliers. Nirel Green Foods exists precisely in that gap: supplying EU buyers directly with documented, tested, traceable Nigerian sesame — at a quality tier the commodity market cannot match. Nigeria’s total sesame export value in 2024 was $817M — #1 globally.
Nigerian sesame export distribution: China 33% · Japan 18% · India 9% · Turkey 8% · Greece 5% · South Korea 5% · Germany 3%. Asia remains dominant while the EU is comparatively underserved.
EU compliance is not an add-on. It is our foundation.
Every lot we ship is tested, documented, and traceable — because European buyers don’t just buy sesame seed, they buy confidence in its origin.
Third-party testing
Every shipment independently tested by SGS or Intertek for moisture, FFA, aflatoxin, and Salmonella. Certificate of Analysis issued per lot — not per season.
Farm-level traceability
Lot coding traceable to origin state and cooperative. EUDR-ready documentation with GPS-linked farm records — meeting the EU’s 2025 deforestation regulation requirements.
Full export documentation
Phytosanitary certificate, NAFDAC registration, Certificate of Origin (NEB), packing list, bill of lading — complete and consistent on every consignment.
Organic pathway
Working toward GlobalG.A.P. and organic certification at farm level — opening access to EU’s premium health food and ingredient segments where price uplifts are highest.
Pre-shipment inspection
SGS pre-shipment inspection at Lagos port on every FCL. Buyers receive inspection reports before funds are transferred — zero surprises at Rotterdam.
Supplier qualification support
We work with buyers through their qualification process — facility documentation, sample supply, audit support — because we’re building long-term supply partnerships, not spot deals.
Our work is grounded in two decades of doing this for real.
Nirel Green Foods isn’t run by commodity traders. It is built on deep technical and operations leadership in FMCG — the kind that understands EUDR, packaging sustainability, and emerging market supply chains from the inside out. Through our sister firm, Nirel Green Consulting, that same expertise supports CPG companies across food, cosmetics and household products.
