All our Headquarters and various warehouses units are powered 100% by solar system. We care in the overall organization of using as less as possible plastics bags. All our car fleet is the lowest consumption cars available in the country….Lowering our environment impact is a must in the DNA of our people.

We work directly with farming communities in Yobe and Kano, providing quality seeds, training, and fair pricing. This partnership ensures pesticide-free hibiscus grown under sustainable practices while supporting local livelihoods.
After harvest, hibiscus is carefully cleaned and sorted. Manual sorting removes visible impurities, while mechanical vibrating sieves eliminate stones, dust, and debris. This dual process guarantees a clean, uniform raw material ready for export.
Each batch is subjected to lab-certified analysis, covering pesticide residues, microbiology, and color specifications. Sampling follows strict protocols (Square Root Method √N), ensuring traceability and compliance with EU/US standards.
Products are packed under controlled, hygienic conditions, using export-grade materials. Each bag is labeled with batch numbers for traceability, guaranteeing customers receive safe, compliant, and market-ready products.
Our dedicated logistics team ensures efficient FOB shipments via Lagos ports. With optimized warehousing and partnerships with international freight companies, we secure on-time deliveries and smooth customs clearance for global buyers.

In addition to the training, we have empowered extension agents supervised by our in house agronomist to give weekly follow-up to our contact farmers to ensure adherence to our training standards of best practices.
Then, on the out-sourcing, every batch has been tested for pesticide residue. Hundreds of analyses are run annually, performed in certified European labs, to ensure full compliance with EU/US regulations
Each batch is given a unique ID (harvest year – collection place – vendor – batch number). Sampling is performed using the Square Root Method (√N), and every sample is sealed, documented, and lab-tested before export.

Moisture is a critical compliance factor for the EU market. We dry hibiscus under controlled conditions and use mechanical sorting + vibration sieves to stabilize moisture content, preventing mold and ensuring long shelf life.
We operate warehouses in Kano and Southwest Nigeria, with a logistics team dedicated to reducing FOB time to 2 weeks. We mainly ship via APMT Terminal Lagos, but also other ports in Nigeria using multiple carriers to secure delivery windows.
We provide free quality seeds, provide tools, sun-hats, with continuous onsite training post planting.
We are in the process of securing Rainforest Alliance certification, and we have also started ISO 22000 certification as an international standard for FSMS.
