The company is home to some of the region’s most trusted edible oil brands, including Afia and Al Arabi. These brands are recognized for their superior quality and have become essential in households across the region. In addition to these flagship products, the company offers a wide variety of other high-quality brands that cater to changing consumer preferences.
