For our high-quality raw organic avocado oil, we work with various local partners and cooperatives and source the fruit from avocado plantations in Africa. Sustainable and organic cultivation methods are practiced there. These include mechanical weed control without herbicides, no use of synthetic chemicals for plant protection, the use of exclusively organic fertilizers, the preservation of soil fertility through humus management and the cultivation of GMO-free plants. These methods lead to a closed nutrient cycle and an ecologically balanced system, which guarantees sustainability for the environment. In addition, press cakes are used as a natural fertilizer and environmentally friendly pest control.

In the past, avocado trees were mainly used by small organic coffee farmers to provide shade between their coffee plants, which avoided monocultures and improved soil quality. However, the avocado fruit was difficult to sell on the local market and was often not harvested. Our cooperation with the local cooperatives now gives the small farmers access to the international market, enabling them to increase their income from avocados. As avocados are delicate fruits, they are only processed locally, which creates additional added value and jobs.
