TAAMSI: Bringing Burkina Faso’s Finest Shea Butter to the UK and Irish Markets

TAAMSI, an emerging leader in Burkina Faso’s agrobusiness sector, is preparing to expand its export operations to the United Kingdom and Ireland—bringing with it what many consider to be Africa’s finest shea butter. Having already established a foothold in France, Germany, and Belgium, TAAMSI is now setting its sights on new markets eager for ethical, high-quality natural products.

TAAMSI isn’t just another exporter it’s a company grounded in community, quality, and impact. Its shea butter is sourced directly from rural cooperatives across Burkina Faso, where women use traditional techniques passed down through generations. The result is a high-quality, ethically sourced product that has already won the trust of European buyers.

Laboratory tests and customer feedback from European clients have consistently confirmed the exceptional purity, consistency, and nutritional richness of TAAMSI’s shea butter. As global demand for natural and responsibly sourced ingredients grows, TAAMSI is answering the call.

Historically, UK and Irish companies in the cosmetic, food, and personal care industries have relied on Ghana for their shea butter supplies. But with growing interest in supply diversification and traceable sourcing, TAAMSI is stepping in to offer a competitive, sustainable, and high-quality alternative one that supports livelihoods in Burkina Faso and meets European standards for organic and natural ingredients.

TAAMSI’s expansion into these markets is timely, as British and Irish brands increasingly prioritise products that are ethically sourced, women-led, and environmentally sustainable.

As part of Burkina Faso’s growing agrobusiness movement, TAAMSI is helping to reposition the country from a raw material exporter to a value-added producer. Its expansion is creating tangible opportunities for rural communities, particularly for women involved in shea nut collection and processing.

By working closely with local partners across regions of Burkina Faso, TAAMSI ensures that the benefits of trade are widely shared. This includes training in sustainable harvesting, improved processing equipment, and fair compensation.

The company's growth also means:

• Greater market access for smallholder producers.
• Investment in quality control and traceability systems.
• Increased national visibility in global natural product supply chains.

TAAMSI is actively seeking partnerships with importers, distributors, and manufacturers in the UK and Ireland. Whether in cosmetics, skincare, chocolate production, or health and wellness, TAAMSI offers a trusted and proven supply source with the added value of social impact, sustainability, and direct-from-origin transparency.

The company also welcomes collaboration with Burkinabè diaspora entrepreneurs, trade support institutions, and development partners to expand its reach and deepen its impact.

TAAMSI’s move into the UK and Ireland is not just a business expansion it's a symbol of Burkina Faso’s rising role in global agrobusiness. With world-class shea butter, a values-driven model, and strong local foundations, TAAMSI is poised to elevate the country's reputation and create meaningful opportunities for its people.

As the company likes to say:
“From the villages of Burkina to the shelves of Europe, TAAMSI is more than shea butter. It’s a story of pride, partnership, and progress.”
