SOURCING

Responsible sourcing and Gum Arabic var kerensis expertise is Acacia EPZ’s niche.

BACK
We have developed solid partnerships with an extensive network of collectors in
the Northern Arid Lands of Kenya. Acacia EPZ supports the collectors to establish
formal producer (collector) business groups to enhance volumes and quality.
Acacia EPZ purchases all the Gum Arabic collected provided that it meets
expected quality standards. Our operations help vulnerable households and demographics such as women and youth through creation of sustainable employment opportunities. Aside from helping to impart the necessary skills to collectors, we develop and implement measures to make the supply chains of Gum Arabic more organized, efficient and transparent.

In addition, we focus on improving quality assurance. New standards and
guidelines for collecting, sorting, grading and storing Gum Arabic are being
established with technical support from the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI), and our collectors have access to regular training workshops on quality control to ensure the Gum Arabic we export meets international standards.
Beyond its core business interests, Acacia EPZ Limited is interested in promoting
social transformation through business, and environmental conservation through
community-owned and led efforts.
