Kahai SAS

Kahai SAS is the first company in the world to industrialize the "Cacay", an Amazon tree that produces highly nutritious nuts, from which a precious oil is extracted for skin and hair care. Our mission is to establish the Cacay crop as an alternative for sustainable economic development, and turn it into Colombia´s biodiversity icon. Kahai SAS is dedicated to the production, manufacturing and commercialization of Cacay tree products. We integrate the whole value chain from wild collection, where we conduct awareness campaigns to disclose the potential of the specie and prevent further deforestation of it for firewood. Through wild harvesting we're generating incomes for over 200 peasant and indigenous families within conflict zones.
