DIRECT PURCHASE · FOLK OILS IN KENYA

Folk Oils buys directly from Kenya

Five origins. A single commitment: the direct source.

Sesame is an ancient seed, cultivated in arid and semi-arid lands by agricultural communities who have mastered its subtleties for generations. Each soil, each climate, each local variety imprints in the seed, and therefore in the oil, a distinctive character.

Folk Oils has built a direct supply network anchored in five production territories, with no commercial intermediary between farmers and our press.

MOROCCO

Cooperatives of Béni Mellal

In the heart of the Béni Mellal-Khénifra region, small women's and family cooperatives cultivate white sesame on irrigated plots. Direct contracting, without collector or local trader. Clear, soft oil, elegant and discreet fragrance, ideal for premium cosmetics and food.

DIRECT COOPERATIVES

BURKINA FASO

Small farmers in the Central West

One of Africa's leading exporters of sesame. Center-West and Hauts-Bassins village groups. Unshelled white sesame known for sesamin and sesaminol, remarkable antioxidant lignans.

VILLAGE GROUPS
