Our story
Rooted in Africa. Trusted by Formulators.
We believe the world's most extraordinary botanical ingredients grow across the African continent — and they deserve to reach the hands of formulators who will honour their provenance. Based in Jeffreys Bay, Eastern Cape, we are proudly South African at our core.
Our mission
Bridging Africa's Natural Resources with Global Buyers
BSG Global Wholesale is a South African trading house and international sourcing partner.
Our role is to connect buyers with suitable African-origin oils, essential oils, botanicals, extracts, nuts and other natural ingredients through a network of producers, processors, cooperatives and specialist suppliers.
We manage the commercial sourcing process, including supplier identification, product specifications, documentation, samples, consolidation and export coordination.
Our objective is simple: make it easier for international buyers to source African products with clear information about origin, specifications, documentation and applicable certifications.

Women-led harvesting & community impact
Supporting Responsible Supply Relationships
BSG recognises the important role that small-scale producers, community enterprises and women-led cooperatives play in Africa's natural-ingredient supply chains.
Where our sourcing involves these groups, we seek to develop commercially sustainable relationships and maintain visibility of product origin and supplier relationships.
We believe responsible trade is built on transparency, consistent demand and fair commercial relationships throughout the supply chain.
