BIOVALLEY : Producer & Exporter of Organic Prickly Pear Oil
Production of Products derived from the Prickly Pear
Today the prickly pear is recognized as a real source of socio-economic development in Tunisia and our country has 600,000 hectares of prickly pears and it is classified:
- The first in the world according to the Bio Agency in the certified organic production of prickly pears.
- 5th in the world in terms of cultivated area
- Among the top three in terms of production of prickly pears from commercial plantations. Based on this encouraging data, a young Tunisian entrepreneur had the idea of launching into this field by setting up an innovative unit for the transformation and valorization of products derived from the prickly pear tree under an approach of social and environmental responsibility, and within a fair trade framework.
About BioValley Tunisia
The project is being implemented under the BIOVALLEY brand .
The production unit is located in the governorate of Kairouan in the Sbikha plain – the Oued el Ogba Valley in Dkhila.
Kairouan is considered to be a flagship area in terms of
natural wealth and is one of the three main prickly pear producing governorates in Tunisia. The BIOVALLEY project aims to ensure, from an innovative and profitable perspective, a socio-economic impact on the local population and to involve and benefit agricultural workers who are often the most forgotten in the agro-industrial model. The women of this area have expressed their desire to play an important role for a common interest in their areas.
We are a Tunisian company that develops the prickly pear fruit (opuntia ficus indica) into several other derivatives such as:
*Prickly pear vinegar
*Prickly pear seeds
*Exfoliating powder of prickly pear seeds *
