A network in Rwanda, the UK & the UAE · farmer-directHamwe Group Ltd is a private group of investors working with local farmers across Rwanda, Syria and Sudan to bring ecologically grown olive oil, avocado oil, sesame oil and coffee to market — reaching consumers directly through our network in Rwanda, the UK and the UAE, at prices that stay affordable.
Who we are
Hamwe Group Ltd is backed by a private group of investors working to help repair our world by promoting ethical, ecologically farmed produce. We connect winning local produce — oil today, coffee next — with buyers everywhere, keeping pricing competitive so it stays affordable for the people who actually consume it.
Where we work directly with local farmers on ecological growing and fair prices.
Our UK base supplies local retailers, distributors and food service businesses.
Our UAE base extends the network into the Gulf, working with local distributors and sellers.
Our story
Hamwe Group Ltd works directly with hundreds of smallholder farmers in the Reef Daraa region of Syria, in Rwanda and in Sudan — buying olives, avocados and sesame grown using ecological, low-input farming methods that protect the soil, water and land they depend on.
Trading directly with these communities means more of the value of every harvest stays with the farmers who grow it, supporting local jobs and helping establish steady, long-term work in the regions we source from — not just a one-off sale to a middleman.
We then manage the import compliance, lab testing and UK warehousing ourselves, so the businesses we supply get consistent, traceable stock, and the farmers we work with get a reliable buyer season after season.
Our range
We're starting deliberately narrow — one exceptional, ecologically grown line in each category, bought directly from the farmers who produce it — before we widen the range.
Cold first-press extra virgin, grown ecologically by smallholder farmers in the Reef Daraa region of Syria. Peppery, fresh and low in acidity — and every bottle supports the local families who grow it.
Pressed from fruit grown ecologically by local farmers across Rwanda's hills. A high smoke point and a clean, buttery flavour make it a natural swap for veg oil in searing and roasting.
Grown ecologically by smallholder farmers in Sudan's sesame belt, a region renowned for the crop. Available toasted, for a deep nutty finish, or unrefined for a lighter, more neutral oil.

We reach out directly to local farmers with a winning produce, then help lift it and sell it globally — keeping it ethical, ecological and affordable.
