Natures Crops International

Natures Crops International is a global supplier of specialty plant oils for food, supplements, cosmetics and pet industries. Using seeds grown on contract with UK farmers, they offer high margin buy-back contracts for low input, regeneratively suitable break crop species such as Ahiflower® and Meadowfoam.

As the richest known non-GM plant-based Omega 3,6,9 fatty acid source, Ahiflower has a number of expanding markets in the food, supplement, cosmetic and pet arenas. As a replacement for fish oils, the demand is increasing annually. Ahiflower is an excellent rotational break crop, and could replace OSR, linseed, beans, sugar beet, etc, in the crop rotation.

Meadowfoam is an attractive winter sown annual plant, the seeds of which produce an oil valuable in cosmetics for its excellent moisturising, UV protection and stability properties. The seeds of Meadowfoam contain around 25-30% oil. Natures Crops International have exclusive rights to a number of high yielding Meadowfoam varieties.

Contracts are only available to meet known orders, at a fixed price not linked to external market or commodity crop sources. Contact Simon Meakin at: smeakin@naturescrops.com if interested in becoming a grower for Ahiflower or Meadowfoam.
