Natural Ingredients

With its rich biodiversity as the third most bio-diverse country in the world, South Africa is a highly viable source for natural ingredients, with unique opportunities and growing demand in international markets.

Natural ingredients are natural remedies and herbs, aromatic plants, essential and vegetable oils and extracts, spices, nuts, honey and other ingredients for the food, cosmetics, health and pharmaceutical industries. With the growing demand for natural ingredients at a global level, this sector has substantial export growth potential. SIPPO supports BSOs in the export promotion of natural ingredients from South Africa to potential international markets.
