Every product comes with its specification and the producer's quality documents, confirmed with you before you commit to an order.
We work with named producing regions and share origin, harvest and processing details on request, so you know where your ingredient comes from.
From a sample to a pilot batch to a full order. We grow supply with our buyers rather than forcing minimums on them.

About BioSource Trading
BioSource Trading was founded by Chukwunonso Eze, a procurement professional (CIPS), with a simple aim: to build reliable, well-documented supply of West Africa's finest botanicals for UK and European businesses — and, over time, to add value at origin by turning raw materials into oils and extracts.
Quality & Documentation
Every product we offer is backed by documentation confirmed at the point of enquiry. When you request a quote, we set out exactly which specifications, analyses and certificates apply to that product and origin — before you commit to anything.
How Our Documentation WorksOrdering Process
Product, format, volume and any documentation or certification your application requires. You'll get a personal reply from the founder.
Before quoting, we confirm in writing what we can supply and which documents come with it. Samples where available.
Confirm the quote and logistics, and your order ships with the documentation pack agreed at quote stage.
Our Commitment
“How an ingredient is sourced matters as much as what it is.”
Most West African botanicals leave the region as raw materials, and most of the value is added elsewhere. Our long-term aim is to change that: to process more at origin, pay fairly for quality, and build lasting relationships with producers.
