Elmenka International Ltd.

Elmenka International Ltd. is based in Nigeria and lists agricultural commodities on Global Trade Plaza. The company offers cashew nuts, sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum), ginger (Zingiber officinale), shea nuts (Vitellaria paradoxa) and gum arabic (acacia gum). The cashew nuts come from the Anacardiaceae family tree originally native to Brazil and now widely cultivated across tropical regions. Sesame seeds are described as one of the oldest oilseeds, valued for stable oil content, protein, carbohydrate, fat and nutty flavor, with uses in food products such as halva, tahini, baked goods and confectionery. Ginger is supplied as the underground rhizome of a perennial herb cultivated for over 5,000 years, used in cuisines, baked products, beverages and essential oil applications. Shea nuts are sourced from the sub-Saharan African savannah belt and are in demand for shea butter extract used in chocolate, cosmetics and soaps. Gum arabic is presented as the dried exudate from Acacia trees, supplied as dry hard nodules for use as a stabilizer in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, printing, paint, textile and pottery industries.
