Wigmore runs a physical commodities desk from Lagos — sourcing, grading and shipping West African agri-products to buyers across Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, and importing the food and industrial staples the region runs on. Twenty-one product lines below; every one backed by the same machinery: aggregation, quality control, export documentation and freight, under one roof.
Commodities fail on quality and paperwork, not price. Every line we ship runs the same four-stage discipline.
Direct relationships with farmers, cooperatives and processors across Nigeria and West Africa — volumes consolidated at our facilities, provenance recorded per lot.
Moisture, purity, aflatoxin and grading checked against your specification before loading — because a consignment rejected in Rotterdam costs a hundred times the test.
NEPC, NXP, inspection, phytosanitary, fumigation and origin certificates run in parallel by the same team behind our documents concierge. Prohibited raw forms screened out; compliant processed grades traded instead.
Sea and air freight with milestone tracking, and payment structured properly — LC, escrow or agreed terms — so neither side ships or pays on hope.
Importers, processors and brands buying West African commodities get a counterparty with teams on both sides of the water.
If you produce or aggregate any line in our catalogue, the desk is a standing buyer — with standards stated upfront and payment terms in writing.
Rice, sugar, coffee, wheat, fish, edible oils, fertiliser, steel and aluminium products — merchandised into West African markets through our wholesale and distribution network.
The desk sits on Wigmore’s own warehouses, fleet, Free Zone hub and 210,000-customer network — your commodity rides infrastructure we own, not subcontract roulette.
Export prohibition lists screened per shipment, official FX channels only, and processed compliant grades traded where raw forms are restricted.

Product, volume, destination — send those three things on WhatsApp and the desk replies with specs, availability and a workable price.
