About Company

We contract farmers to grow sunflower crop. After harvesting the seeds, we purchase them at competitive prices. The seeds are then pressed to produce virgin sunflower oil, which is sold. We are working to alleviate poverty and lack of jobs in our communities, by offering locals a chance to earn from a high value crop, producing it and working in the oil production enterprise. Since we encounter lots of biomass waste in the form of sunflower buds, stalk, and a nearby sugar company has lots of bargass, we also offer a sustainable solution for clean energy needs, targeting eco-conscious consumers and industries. We manufacture carbonized briquettes from these locally sourced biomass waste. These briquettes are a renewable alternative to traditional charcoal, mitigating deforestation and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
