We are excited to share that we’ve reached a major milestone by becoming officially certified as organic, obtaining both EU and China organic certifications.
This achievement allows us to further expand our range of plant-based nutritional oils to cater to the organic food ingredients, cosmetics, and pet food markets, positioning us to meet the demand for high-quality organic oils and fats.
Key Milestone in Our Journey
As we celebrate this achievement, we reflect on what it means for our company and our customers. “We are looking forward to entering the organic market and offering our products to highly valued brands. For us, this is an important step in our development and shows our commitment to both product quality and sustainable agricultural practices,” said our General Manager, Peter Bos.
Our journey toward organic certification is not just about business growth—it’s about staying true to our values. We’re dedicated to not only expanding our organic offerings but also investing in sustainable practices across all sourcing regions, ensuring we provide the highest quality oils sourced and produced in environmentally responsible ways.
Certification: A Team Effort
Obtaining both EU and China organic certifications was no small business. Our Quality and Food Safety Manager, Magdalena Baars, was instrumental in leading the effort.
“The certification audits were a success, particularly the EU Organic certification, which took significant effort,” Magdalena said. “I am incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and the collective hard work that made this possible. As a firm believer that organic is the future, this is a truly happy moment for me.” Her passion for organic ingredients has been a driving force in this success, demonstrating that for us, organic certification is more than just a label—it’s a commitment to a better future.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Beyond
Our journey doesn’t end with obtaining organic certifications; in fact, it’s just the beginning.
At Cefetra Premium Oils we believe that organic production and sustainability go hand in hand. As we move forward, we are working closely with our local partners to push the boundaries of sustainability, enhancing biodiversity, improving soil health, and reducing our environmental footprint.
Our first batches of certified organic avocado oil, sourced from East Africa, have already been shipped to customers, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our company and the industries we serve.
Looking to the Future
With our EU and China organic certifications in place, we are looking ahead with great optimism. Our goal is to become a leading global supplier of organic nutritional oils, providing high-quality, sustainable ingredients to the food, pet food, and cosmetics industries.
