The Group's policy is to fix terms of payment when agreeing the terms of each business transaction, to ensure the supplier is aware of those terms and to abide by the agreed terms of payment.

Earthoil's KOOFA (Kenyan Organic Oil Farmers Association) is situated in the Mount Kenya area and initially began with just 90 farmers growing borage - a pressed seed oil crop. The project has now moved on to tea tree oil and has since expanded to over 500 growers. Through this, and other projects, Earthoil has passed on valuable farming skills that help these farmers ensure successful crops and therefore, valuable income. The farmers can call on Earthoil-employed agronomists and field officers for help and guidance as they learn the required skills.
