Vitaseed Oil Mills Limited is founded with the aim of supporting the Kenyan Government’s vision to transform sunflower and soybean seeds into premium refined oils and high-quality de-oiled meals.
A fully automatic Expelling Unit, Refinery and Solvent Extraction Plant will be established at an appropriate location allocated by the government with a projected capacity of 300 tons per day Expelling Unit, 150 tons per day of Oil Refinery and 300 tons per day Solvent Extraction Unit.
We aim to boost agricultural development by cultivating 5 million acres of Sunflower and Soybean, offering higher returns to farmers compared to traditional crops like Maize, Sorghum, and Barley.
Our long-term vision is to encourage farmers to grow 4-month cash crops like Sunflower and Soybean, which will create more employment and reduce USD outflow for the importation of Crude Palm Oil and its derivatives.
Transitioning farmers from traditional farming methods to adopting modern agronomy practices through development initiatives
To utilize hybrid seeds that offer higher yields and oil content (Sunflower Seeds).
To implement drip irrigation systems wherever possible, reducing reliance on rainfall.
In the first phase, an oil mill and refinery will be established, followed by a solvent extraction plant in the second phase, once adequate supplies of Sunflower and Soybean seeds are secured from all counties and farmers.
We aim to assist farmers to transition from traditional farming methods to adopting modern agronomic practices through a number of development initiatives such as:
Utilizing hybrid seeds that offer higher yields and oil content for sunflower seeds
Implementation of drip irrigation systems where possible, reducing reliance on rain fed agriculture
The de-oiled sun flower and soya meal will be supplied for animal feed and poultry diets.
