Stone Trade is a partnership business built on sound business principles and passionate about product quality and timeous deliveries. The company has built a rich profile of reputable wholesalers in the USA and Mexico and aims to widen its influence on the European and Asian markets.

The company owns a warehouse in Kano, Nigeria. Products are packaged in 20 or 25kg poly bags and then on pallets off the floor. Consignments are readied in 21-30 days after order notification. Sea shipment is the preferred method of delivery through the port of Apapa.

Stone Trade conducts meticulous quality checks, making sure that the product is thoroughly cleaned of all foreign matter and bagged in strong dry bags and fumigated. The company adheres to the quality standards set by Nigerian Federal Produce Standard and holds all necessary certification, including a sanitary certificate, a certificate of origin, and a fumigation certificate.

Stone Trade owns a production area in Kano, Nigeria, where an artisanal farming model is practiced. Following the rainy season, the area experiences hot and dry conditions that are suitable for drying the nuts. Harvesting occurs all year round, producing an annual average yield of 20 000MT. Manual and machine labor are then used to clean the nuts and remove all foreign products. The tubers of the tiger nuts can be utilized fresh, semi-fresh, or dried depending on the products desired. Drying of tiger nut tubers is commonly done by exposing them to direct sun rays with occasional turning which ensures uniform drying. This process takes 1 to 2 months, after which the nuts are bagged.

Stone Trade offers high-quality Tiger nuts, 8-15mm in size, with a maximum of 2% impurities and a maximum of 10% moisture content. The nuts are produced conventionally and are suitable for consumption and further processing with a shelf life of 24 months. Samples are available upon request.
