Wholesale excellence
Why our bulk pricing holds
Direct sourcing from Madagascar, Tanzania and Kenya across spices, rice and pulses gives us supply security and a cost advantage. Vertical control runs from origin sourcing, through our Ras Al Khor facility, to the shelf.
Sourcing
Direct at origin
Our own offices and staff in Madagascar, Kenya, Tanzania and Benin, plus a sourcing and processing unit in India. No intermediary margin, and no waiting on someone else to confirm a position.
Integration
Origin to shelf
Vertical control from the origin warehouse through the Ras Al Khor facility. If a specification changes, we change the line rather than renegotiate with a third-party processor.
Reach
African and international markets
Africa is our principal wholesale destination, served through our West and East African offices, alongside Middle East, Indian Ocean and international buyers.
