Background and Oils

BACKGROUND

Ayanda African Oils was developed from a need to expand and consolidate the essential oil industry in South Africa. A farmers co-operative was formed to assist farmers with marketing capabilities and offer shared, state of the art resources. Through this co-operative, Ayanda African Oils was born.

Our shareholders grow, process and market a range of certified organic and conventional essential oils and hydrosols, for the aromatherapy and cosmetic industry.

Ayanda African Oils represents several Essential Oil Farmers on the East Coast of South Africa, some of whom have been involved in the growing and distillation of essential oils since 2001.

Controlling the full process, from growing the crops to the distillation of the oil, on our many geographically separate farms, we are able to offer our clients reliable supply of consistent quality oil and hydrosols from our modern distillation facilities.
