About SAMAYO K2 FARMS - Dried Mushroom Supplier in Nigeria

Samayo K2 Farms operates out of Ilesa in Osun State, Nigeria, and currently lists nine active products in its export catalogue. The catalogue covers dried mushroom (HS 0712.31), beans flour (HS 1106.10), dried pap (HS 1103.13), mushroom spices (HS 0712.31), smoked fish (HS 1604.19), prepared snail (HS 0307.69), honey (HS 7404.00), cocoa beans and powder (HS 1801.00), and fresh vegetables such as okro, bitter leaf and ugu leaf (HS 0709.99). Each entry includes a material description that ties the product to a specific commodity class, for example dried oyster Ganoderma mushroom under HS 0712.31 and fresh Atlantic mackerel smoked under HS 1604.19. The supplier is classified as an organic tier exporter, indicating that its products are marketed as organic where applicable. The listing reflects a focus on both processed (dried, smoked, powdered) and fresh agricultural output.

The nine products span two broad groups: processed food commodities (dried mushrooms, flours, smoked fish, prepared snail, honey, cocoa beans and powder) and fresh horticultural produce (vegetables). The processed items are generally exported in bulk packaging such as 20 kg polypropylene bags for flours, vacuum‑sealed trays for smoked fish, and sealed tins for honey, while fresh vegetables are packed in ventilated cartons. The catalogue’s HS code families (0712, 1106, 1103, 1604, 0307, 7404, 1801, 0709) correspond to internationally recognised tariff headings for mushrooms, legume flours, maize products, smoked fish, snails, brass alloy (note: HS 7404 is for brass articles but listed for honey, which may be a data error), cocoa and fresh vegetables. This structure enables buyers to locate the appropriate customs classification for each commodity.

Product Range and Specialties of SAMAYO K2 FARMS

The product roster includes dried Ganoderma mushroom (HS 0712.31), which in the global market is typically sold with moisture content below 12 % and a fungal‑fatty acid profile that meets ISO 22000 food‑safety standards. Beans flour (HS 1106.10) is generally produced with protein levels of 20‑25 % and ash content under 5 %, and buyers often request a particle size distribution of 250‑500 µm. Dried pap (HS 1103.13) is milled maize with a target moisture of ≤13 % and a bulk density of 0.6‑0.8 g cm‑3. Smoked fish (HS 1604.19) is usually evaluated by water activity (a_w < 0.85) and smoke intensity measured in phenol units. Prepared garden snail (HS 0307.69) is air‑dried to ≤12 % moisture and must meet microbial limits for total plate count (<10⁴ CFU g‑1). Honey (HS 7404.00) - although the HS code suggests brass articles, in food trade honey is commonly graded by moisture (<20 %) and diastase activity (≥8 Schade). Cocoa beans and powder (HS 1801.00) are graded by fermentation quality, fat content (≈50 % for beans) and particle size for powder (≤250 µm). Fresh vegetables (HS 0709.99) are shipped with a post‑harvest shelf life of 7‑10 days, packed at 4‑6 °C, and must comply with pesticide residue limits set by EU regulations.

Trade and Export Information - SAMAYO K2 FARMS

Nigeria’s agricultural export sector channels dried mushrooms, legume flours, dried maize products and smoked fish primarily to the European Union, the United Arab Emirates and East Asian markets. HS chapters 07, 11 and 16 are routinely inspected by customs authorities, with phytosanitary certificates required for fresh vegetables (HS 0709) and animal‑origin products such as smoked fish (HS 1604) and prepared snail (HS 0307). Organic exporters from Nigeria often need to provide a Certificate of Origin, an Organic Production Certificate (e.g., from IFOAM or a national body), and HACCP or ISO 22000 compliance documentation. Packaging for bulk dried goods typically follows ISPM 15 standards for wooden pallets, while refrigerated containers (40 ft, 20 °C) are standard for fresh vegetables. Nigerian exporters also observe the European Union’s maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticide residues on vegetables and the US FDA’s fish‑and‑shellfish safety guidelines for smoked fish.

Sourcing from SAMAYO K2 FARMS - Buyer Guidance

Buyers should request a full specification sheet that lists moisture content, microbial limits (total plate count, coliforms, Salmonella for fish), and any organic certification numbers. For dried mushroom and mushroom spices, a mycotoxin analysis (aflatoxin ≤ 5 µg kg‑1) is commonly required. Beans flour and dried pap buyers usually ask for proximate analysis (protein, fat, ash, moisture) and a particle‑size report. Smoked fish orders should be accompanied by a smoke‑flavor profile, water‑activity measurement and a HACCP audit report. For fresh vegetables, a phytosanitary certificate, pesticide‑residue test results and a cold‑chain logistics plan are essential before shipment. Verifying the HS code on the commercial invoice against the product description helps avoid customs delays.
