Kenyan avocado oil for the United Kingdom market

UK cosmetic and natural-beauty brands buy cosmetic-grade virgin and refined avocado oil; we supply COA, MSDS and organic transaction certificates.

Avocado oil is extracted from the flesh (mesocarp) of mature avocados by mechanical cold-pressing (decanter centrifuge) without solvents. Kenyan processors near the central highlands work with tens of thousands of smallholder growers, making use of fruit that is not exported fresh.

Buyers we serve in United Kingdom: Cosmetic manufacturers, food processors, oil distributors and ingredient suppliers.
