Organic Avocado Oil

For the production of our avocado oil, organic avocados are sourced from the same smallholder farmers who also supply macadamia nuts. From the fruit to the oil, the process involves several steps. Find out more.

    CERTIFIED FOR ORGANIC QUALITY AND SAFETY

    Natural cosmetics and organic foods require high-quality raw materials. Our own fully digital LIMBUA quality management system is complemented by multiple certifications: our macadamia nuts, avocados and mangoes are organic-certified, kosher, halal and traded within certified supply chains (e.g. Fair for Life).

    Small farmer Macadamia Nuts

    We believe that companies operating in the organic macadamia sector should act responsibly. LIMBUA therefore works with value chains in which different actors along the supply chain are involved: 9,000 smallholder farmers in Kenya and more than 900 employees working in local production facilities.

    In addition, there are customers in Europe and the USA who use the nuts to produce food and cosmetic products or trade them. Together, this illustrates how organic farming, local processing and digital traceability can be combined within one supply chain.

    PHILOSOPHY

    When LIMBUA was founded, we were inspired by social entrepreneurs from around the world. Our goal was to connect all elements of the value chain so that farmers, processors, traders and end customers are part of the system.

    Today, we see this approach being implemented in practice.

    QUALITY

    How do you maintain quality when working with 9,000 smallholder farmers? Through modern software: raw material collection, storage, logistics and organic certification are fully digitalised.

    This results in a high level of traceability along the supply chain down to individual smallholder farmers.

    FOUNDATIONS

    Many of the sustainability goals of the UN Agenda 2030 serve as a reference framework for our activities. Sustainability is not limited to organic farming. It also includes aspects such as income and food security, access to markets and education, and other socio-economic factors. We work on these aspects as part of our activities.
