Why buyers source through us
Direct from the growers and harvesters
We buy from farming communities in Lower Shabelle and resin harvesters in the Puntland highlands — no resellers marking up the price before it reaches you.
Graded and moisture-tested before packing
Every batch is sorted by hand, tested for moisture content, and cleaned of debris before it's packed for export.
Documentation ready for customs
Certificates of origin, phytosanitary certificates, and commercial invoices are prepared before your shipment leaves Mogadishu port.
Flexible order sizes
From a 500kg trial order of resin to full container loads of peanuts, we scale to where your business is today.
From our stores to your port
Four steps between the harvest and your container's departure from Mogadishu.
Sourcing
We buy directly from growers and resin harvesters in Lower Shabelle and Puntland.
Grading & cleaning

Shipping
We coordinate freight from Mogadishu port under FOB or CIF terms, whichever suits you.
Built in Mogadishu, trading in both directions
Somalia Origin Exports was established in 2026 to give international buyers a direct, reliable channel into Somalia's agricultural and natural-resin trade — and to give Somali buyers a direct channel to goods from China, Dubai, and other trading hubs, without the usual chain of middlemen.
We're based on Maka Al-Mukarama Street in Mogadishu, close to the sourcing regions, the port, and the import/export logistics we depend on daily.
