Thirumal Impex is a leading exporter of Raw Shea Nuts from Benin, West Africa — one of the most trusted origins for premium-quality shea. Our shea nuts are sourced directly from rural cooperatives and farmers, ensuring traceability, sustainability, and consistent quality in every shipment.

Benin’s shea nuts are renowned for their high fat content, clean kernels, and superior butter yield, making them highly sought-after by cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries across the world.
