Sustainability

Sustainability Approach

Both Social and Environmental Sustainability is an integral part of our company’s overall strategy. We source our raw materials from smallholder farmers in Tanzania. The farmers undergo training on sustainable land use management and comply with standards requirements for both organic and environmental standards.

In turn the knowledge contributes to improve conservation of biodiversity, farm productivity and resilience and on the other hand the company is assured sustainable flow of quality seeds and quality cooking oil to our customers.
