DA Global Sourcing is actively buying Moabi sawn timber of Cameroon origin for our manufacturing partners in Vietnam.
We buy on a regular monthly volume — container by container, with long-term supply strongly preferred over one-off spot lots. Moabi is purchased by Vietnamese producers as a premium African species for fine flooring and furniture.

What we use Moabi for in Vietnam: Moabi is purchased by Vietnamese producers as a premium African species for fine flooring and furniture. Its pear-like fine texture and even pink-brown color yield elegant, uniform floors for luxury apartments, and furniture factories machine it into curved parts, table tops and cabinet fronts that finish almost porelessly. Sliced moabi veneer serves high-end panels and interior doors, while stair manufacturers use it for treads and handrails that must stay smooth under hands and feet. Supply from Gabon and Cameroon is limited and increasingly regulated, so importers buy carefully documented kiln-dried lumber and treat it as a premium-tier species. A heavy African hardwood with pinkish-brown to red heartwood and exceptionally fine, even texture. Durable, stable and smooth-machining, it finishes superbly. Fine dust is irritating, so extraction matters. Availability is constrained and documentation-sensitive.
Shipping from Cameroon: cargo typically loads at Douala. Cameroon is a principal African source of sapelli, tali, doussie, padouk and okan, exporting mostly sawn lumber as log-export restrictions expand. Douala suffers congestion and rainy-season inland delays, so allow generous lead times. Insist on complete legality dossiers; FLEGT-style verification and concession documents are the norm for reputable mills.
