The
Cahula production process uses highly
efficient systems to bring you a high quality, all natural product. From the
seed to your kitchen pan, Cahula is committed to quality. At every step of the
way, there is a quality check, maintaining our high standards of production. All
of our production is undertaken within a strict code of practice, which ensures
a safe and environmentally acceptable product.
Growing. Cahula promotes environmentally friendly local farming to
cultivate the best available oilseeds.
Handling. Cahula quality controls ensure proper handling, storage,
preservation and delivery of fresh seed from farmers to our processing section.
All our warehouses are 100% hygienic and maintained at appropriate temperatures
to keep our oilseeds fresh.
Processing. All Cahula Processing is carried out in our own
advanced technical preparatory facility. All initial operations, including
Decortication, Cooking, Flaking, Expelling and Expanding are carried out with
full quality control.
The treated seed / cake is then further processed in our modern solvent
extraction plant where oil is extracted using food grade 'Hexane'. This Hexane
is evaporated, cooled, condensed and recovered during processing.
The by-product of this process is then treated as a protein concentrate, to be
made into meal for animal feeds.
Refining. The edible oil is then further processed in our Refinery
section, and packaged into our major brands.
The crude oil is fully refined, bleached, winterized and deodorized through our
state of the art refining system. Our refinery uses the most advanced technology
available, complete with PLC based operations.
Packing and Storage. Our packing facility is set up to ensure that
our packing operation is fast and efficient, ensuring that all of our products
are hygienically packed into our quality, fully recyclable packing materials.
All Cahula products are certified and bear the KBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards)
diamond mark of quality and also the Cahula quality assurance mark.
Transport. The Cahula fleet of vehicles provide swift and
efficient delivery within our extensive distribution network.
Sales. Cahula has a strong partnership with all of our retailers,
supported by a highly efficient communication network. We give complete support
and service to all of our partners.
From the farm to your kitchen, from the seed to the pan, Cahula is there, every
step of the way, working to deliver the best all natural products to your home.
