German-Kenyan Fair-Macadamia producer in cooperation with more than 7000 smallholder farmers
Since 2006, LIMBUA produces and sells macadamia nuts and oil in cooperation with more than 7000 organically certified smallholders. Without any middle men, the German-Kenyan company enters the international market and assures a competitive price-performance ratio as well as a high product quality due to the fresh produce that has been sourced directly from the farm. Grown free of chemical pesticides in mixed cultures, the kernels comply with the high standards of quality and health conscious consumers. At the same time, value creation is left on site and the standard of living of the rural population is improved.
By now, LIMBUA comprises four decentralized, modern production facilities, which are located close to the farmers. The self-developed manufacturing processes enable a high quality standard. This has created over 700 jobs in the countryside, offering women in particular the opportunity to generate an income and experience self-empowerment.
The product portfolio includes whole macadamia kernels and pieces, as well as Macadamia nut butter and oil. Besides the premium kernels for snacking, the range also covers the cost-effective ingredient styles. Despite the convenient price, they are of the same high quality and perfectly suitable for food processing.
They are especially interesting for health conscious, fitness oriented and exclusive consumer groups. The ingredient style macadamias can be processed into vegan products, clean food, fine sweets and protein-rich Keto foods, as i.e. macadamia drink, chocolate covered nuts, spreads, pastries, nut bars and many more.
On the way from the farm to the packaged product, all kernels are subjected to multiple quality controls. LIMBUA is, among other certifications, IFS-certified, so you can be sure that all LIMBUA macadamia nuts comply with the highest food quality and safety requirements.
In order to bring more fair products from the farmers to the market, LIMBUA is continuously developing ideas: the company has established two new business lines with the production of avocado oil and dried mango.
The avocados and mangos are purchased from the same smallholders as the macadamia nuts. All three products are grown on mixed, certified organic farms, which has a positive impact on biodiversity and boosts the company’s resilience in the face of climate change.
Besides the certified quality, LIMBUA also guarantees absolute transparency. Our self-developed digital system allows 100% traceability of the products from farm to packaging. This creates a high level of transparency and trust: for the smallholders and, of course, the demanding quality customers worldwide.
LIMBUA is sustainable -
Ecologically, economically and socially.
