LIMBUA Organic Avocado Oil – Origin and Cultivation

The avocados are sourced from certified contract smallholder farmers in the fertile region at the foot of Mount Kenya. The fruit is grown on organic mixed farms alongside other crops. This type of cultivation supports soil health, promotes biodiversity and contributes to stable yields for smallholder farmers.

Water demand is an important aspect of avocado cultivation. In LIMBUA’s farming areas, avocados are mainly grown in line with natural rainfall cycles and as part of smallholder mixed farming systems.

The avocados used for oil production are sourced directly from local smallholders without intermediaries and harvested by trained LIMBUA teams. After harvest, the fruit is transported directly to our processing facility. Short transport distances help maintain freshness and quality.

The entire sourcing process is digitally recorded and fully traceable through a dedicated system. Cooperation with farmers is based on long-term relationships and defined quality standards. Payments for harvested crops are made via mobile phone using M-Pesa.

How is LIMBUA Organic Avocado Oil produced?

At LIMBUA’s processing facility in Kenya, avocados are turned into organic avocado oil for food manufacturers, retailers and cosmetics producers. For oil extraction, the pulp is separated from the seed and peel, creating a clean base material for further processing. Depending on requirements, virgin, crude or refined avocado oil is available.

For the production of virgin oil, only ripe fruit is used. Upon delivery, overripe avocados are sorted out, while unripe fruit is set aside for ripening. Ripeness is assessed manually.

Incoming goods and sorting:
Delivered avocados are inspected, sorted by ripeness and prepared for processing.

Cleaning:
The avocados are washed with clean water to remove impurities from the skin.

De-stoning:
The pulp is mechanically separated from the seed and peel.
This results in a homogeneous avocado paste used for oil extraction.

Malaxation:
The paste is slowly mixed and temperature-controlled.
This allows microscopic oil and water droplets to combine.
Temperature and processing time are key factors for oil quality.

Separation:
In a multi-stage process, the oil is separated from water and solid components.

Decanting and filtration:
The oil is further refined to reduce remaining fine particles and achieve a clean end product.
