We bridge the gap between premium African natural oils and European buyers who demand consistent supply, fast delivery, and full traceability. EU warehousing. Freight consolidation. Trade partnership.
European buyers consistently cite supply reliability as their primary barrier to sourcing from Africa. We remove that barrier — through EU stockholding, trade partnership, and practical logistics guidance.
Our fee structure is transparent and designed to protect your cash flow. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your volume, product and requirements.
We hold African origin oils at our Portugal facility under a consignment-style model. Storage fees are structured to defer cash flow impact until point of sale, subject to agreed terms and a maximum holding period of 6 months. You pay once to get your stock into Europe at a bulk-consolidated rate — then nothing again until the stock moves.
Ex-stock EU · Pay on saleWe coordinate consolidated container shipments from South Africa to our Portugal warehouse. By combining multiple producers into one container, we achieve significantly lower per-unit freight rates than any single exporter could negotiate alone. For most clients, inbound consolidated freight is the main upfront cost. For onward delivery within Europe, we guide clients through trusted platforms like Eurosender.

Pelicano Peralta was founded by people who know South African essential oil export from the ground up — because we have lived it. We built this EU infrastructure to solve the problem we experienced firsthand: exceptional African oils that European buyers couldn't rely on for consistent supply.
Why Portugal? Portugal gives us full EU registration, VAT-compliant invoicing in euros, and a practical base for onward delivery across Europe. It is a credible, accessible bridge between African origin and European buyers — with good port connections and a straightforward regulatory environment for organic and conventional commodity imports.
"The logistics barrier is real — and so is the cash flow barrier. We built a model that removes both."
Whether you're a European buyer looking for reliable SA-origin oils, or a South African producer looking for EU market access — we'd like to hear from you.
