About Super Chef®
Super Chef® Oils & Fats is a B2B exporter of RBD palm olein refined in Malaysia and Indonesia and shipped under one trusted brand. Refining since 2004. 12,000+ MT/year to 16 African countries. Same yellow Super Chef® jerry can on retail shelves in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Abidjan that ships in our cartons, drums and flexi tanks.
Operating office: Labuan, Malaysia (refining + export desk). Commercial office: Dubai, UAE. Loading from Port Klang (Malaysia) or Belawan (Indonesia) — origin is seller's choice on the day of loading.
MOQ is 2 × 20' FCL packaged or 1 × 20' FCL flexi tank. That floor exists to make documentary banking and SGS pre-shipment economical. Most of our African distributors run 2–10 FCL/month.
No. We ship only Super Chef® branded — same brand on the export carton, the retail jerry can, the IBC tote and the flexi tank. Single-brand discipline keeps quality consistent across every shipment and protects you against grey-market re-imports of unknown stock.
Products & grades
Three grades: CP6, CP8, CP10. Cloud point increases by grade — CP6 stays liquid coolest (Ethiopia, North Africa winter), CP8 is the volume workhorse, CP10 is the African tropical retail standard.
"CP" refers to cloud point in °C. CP6 ≤ 6°C, CP8 ≤ 8°C, CP10 ≤ 10°C. Lower cloud point means higher fractionation cost, slightly higher price, but better appearance in cooler climates.
Yes — full specifications on each product page (CP6, CP8, CP10) covering iodine value, FFA, peroxide value, anisidine value, smoke point, color, moisture and shelf life. Sample CoA from the last shipment available on request.
Packaging
5L, 10L, 20L, 25L jerry cans · 20L bag-in-box · 200L drums · 1000L IBC totes · 22 MT flexi tank. The MT-per-FCL math is on each packaging page so you can pick the format that maximises shipping economics.
5L jerry can — by far the highest re-order frequency in Lagos, Nairobi, Accra, Abidjan retail. 20L jerry can dominates HoReCa.
Within reason. Mixed-pallet FCLs add USD ~50/MT in handling but are doable for a first shipment so you can test multiple SKUs in your market.
Pricing & payment
CFR = FOB Malaysia/Indonesia (whichever is lower at quote time) + freight to your discharge port + 3% sea-freight buffer. Use the calculator for an indicative range; PI locks the firm number.
30% advance TT + 70% against shipping documents. Alternatives: LC at sight (preferred buyers); CAD via tier-1 bank; 20/80 from 2nd shipment after 30/70 first.
48 hours from PI issue. Palm futures move daily on Bursa Malaysia; we re-quote on request beyond 48h.
Yes — irrevocable LC at sight from a tier-1 bank. CAD via a named correspondent bank also acceptable. Both require slight premium over straight 30/70 TT to absorb bank fees and confirmation costs.
