We are a 100% certified organic farming operation who produces a wide range of essential oils. We own a farm in South Africa, and we have been producing organic and environmentally conscious oil on it for the last 15 years.

We have expanded our business to the EU, we have a registered company and a warehouse in Portugal that we use to sell to our clients in the EU at more cost-efficient prices (eliminating logistics from Africa).

We would like to expand our farming operations to Portugal and start producing certified organic oils directly in the EU. My business partner is an EU citizen.

We differentiate from the market by producing superior quality oils which are organically certified, pesticide free and environmentally safe. I know this is a requirement for EU agricultural funding, so we do meet and exceed this.

The climate in Portugal is suitable for the main oils that we produce.

In short, we have the following already in place:

1. Organically Certification
2. Registration with all the EU bodies and quality approval agencies
3. We have a blueprint to roll out (our farm in South Africa which has been successfully run for 15 years)
4. We have a client base in the EU – offtake for this farm will already be in place come harvest
5. We have more than 550 independent growers that we enable to grow produce in South Africa, all these come form previously disadvantaged backgrounds (Can run similar enabling initiatives at the EU farm – hopefully, a big selling point to enable EU small hold farming)
6. The whole farm is operated with green energy and sustainable environmental practices (see video)

We also have an endorsement from Young Living to emphasise the above organic and environmental claims. It is mentioned in the video.
