Emile Noël creates a chain in Guinea to develop its avocado oil
Emile Noël, as a true creator of value chains, always on the lookout for exceptional raw materials to produce its organic oils, has known for years where to find the best products.
So we decided to develop our own avocado sector in Guinea, a country with a long history of avocado growing.
In keeping with the Group’s desire to leave as much of the added value as possible to the growers, the decision was taken to build the production plant on site, right in the heart of the fields.
That’s why, in 2018, we chose to create Emile Noël Guinée. An oil mill employing around ten people, right in the heart of Guinea, and as close as possible to the growing areas. Our aim with this structure is to produce 60,000 liters of organic avocado oil within 4 years.
In 2019, we have set ourselves the target of 20,000 liters.
