PRODUCTS
This page provides an overview of our agricultural products. We offer a variety of raw materials and finished goods, always prioritising high quality and customer satisfaction.
Cooking Oils
Cooking oils are edible oils that are extracted from plant, animal, or synthetic fat sources.
They are primarily used in food preparation for frying, sautéing, roasting, baking, and dressing. The composition of cooking oils varies widely, depending on their source, which affects their flavour, smoke point, nutritional content, and versatility in cooking. Most cooking oils are made up of fatty acids, which can be saturated, unsaturated (monounsaturated or polyunsaturated), or a combination of both.
We offer various types of cooking oils, like Vegetable Oil, Sunflower oil Description, Canola Oil, sesame oil and peanut oil.
Sugar
Sugar is a natural carbohydrate found in many foods, widely used as a sweetener and energy source.
It is primarily derived from sugar cane, sugar beets, and some fruits, and comes in various forms, including table sugar (sucrose), powdered sugar, brown sugar, and natural sweeteners like honey and maple syrup. With its sweet taste and versatile culinary applications, sugar has been a staple ingredient in kitchens worldwide for centuries.
While sugar provides essential energy to the body, it should be consumed in moderation for optimal health.

Glucose
Glucose is a simple sugar (monosaccharide) that serves as one of the primary sources of energy for the body’s cells. It is a type of carbohydrate that plays a central role in cellular metabolism.
Chemical Structure:
• Molecular Formula: C₆H₁₂O₆
• Structure: Glucose has a six-carbon backbone with an aldehyde group and hydroxyl groups attached to the carbon atoms, making it an aldehyde sugar (aldohexose).
Uses of Glucose:
1. Food and Beverage: Glucose is commonly used as a sweetener in processed foods and beverages. It can be found in high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which is used to sweeten many sodas and snacks.
2. Medical Use: Glucose solutions are used intravenously to provide quick energy for patients who are unable to eat or for those who are experiencing low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
3. Sports and Exercise: Glucose is a rapid energy source for athletes, especially in the form of energy gels or drinks consumed during endurance sports.
Peanuts
Peanuts, also known as ground nuts, are a popular legume grown primarily for their edible seeds. Whether roasted, raw, salted or used as an ingredient in various culinary applications, peanuts are loved for their crunchy texture and rich, nutty flavor.

Nutritional Benefits:
• High in Protein: A great plant-based protein source that supports muscle growth and repair.
• Good Source of Healthy Fats: Peanuts contain heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats that can help lower cholesterol levels and promote cardiovascular health.
• Rich in Antioxidants: Peanuts are high in antioxidants such as resveratrol and flavonoids, which help combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
•. Energy Boosting: Peanuts provide a long-lasting energy boost due to their high protein and fat content.
• Supports Brain Health: Rich in vitamin E and B vitamins, which help support cognitive function and brain health.
Ginned Cotton
Sudanese ginned cotton is known for its high-quality fibres and long-standing agricultural history.
Sudan has been one of the prominent cotton-producing countries in Africa, with cotton being a key crop in its agricultural sector. the most famous cotton in Sudan is the “long-staple cotton” (Gossypium barbadense), which is prized for its superior quality.
This type of cotton is known for its long fibres, which are ideal for spinning into fine yarns and producing high-quality textiles.

• Good Source of Iron: Sesame seeds offer iron, which is essential for oxygen transport and energy production.
• Rich in Healthy Fats: They contain heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which help reduce bad cholesterol and promote overall heart health.
• High in Protein: Sesame seeds provide plant-based protein (about 5 grams per ounce), supporting muscle growth and tissue repair.
• Rich in Fibre: With around 1.1-1.5 grams of fibre per ounce, sesame seeds aid digestion, regulate bowel movements, and support gut health.
Rich in Magnesium: Sesame seeds provide magnesium, which supports muscle function, nerve health, and bone health.
• Antioxidants: They contain powerful antioxidants like sesame and vitamin E, which protect cells from damage and reduce inflammation.
Animal Feed
Animal feed is the food provided to animals (livestock) to support their growth, health, and productivity. It plays a crucial role in the agricultural and livestock industries, ensuring that animals have the right nutrients to grow, produce milk, eggs, or meat, and maintain good health. Animal feed is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of different species.
A) Forage: Grass, Alfalfa, Clover, Rhodes Grass Hay, Silage (fermented grass or corn).
Forage refers to plant-based materials that animals consume for grazing or as feed. Forage crops are high in fibre, which is important for ruminants to aid digestion.
B) Grains and Cereal Crops: Corn (maize), Wheat, Barley, Oats, Sorghum, Millets.
These are the primary energy sources for livestock. They are rich in carbohydrates and provide essential calories for animals.
C) Protein Sources: Soybean meal, Canola meal, Peanut meal, Cottonseed meal, Fish meal, Alfalfa meal, and Legumes (such as peas and beans).
Animals, especially those that are growing, lactating, or producing eggs, require adequate protein for muscle development and overall health.
