Harnessing Pakistan’s Potential in Agriculture

With over 23 million hectares of cultivated land and 12 climatic zones across the country, Pakistan is ideally suited to the cultivation of crops for essential oil, concrete and absolute production.

Almost 70% of the country’s 240 million people are in some way dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. More than 90% of the farmers are classified as smallholder farmers.  

Extracts4Life was set up to support these small farmers and to promote our potential as a reliable source for high quality value added agricultural products.

Ethical HarvestinG

Extracts4Life is dedicated to ethical sourcing. We ensure farmers are paid fairly and promptly through secure banking channels, eliminating exploitation by middlemen.

We provide technical support, guidance, and essential farming equipment, ensuring that each harvest is carefully handled and contributes positively to both the environment and local communities.

We recognize that the strength of our supply chain lies in adopting goals and objectives designed primarily to improve the lives of our farmers and the communities working in the fields.

Safeguarding the Vitality of Our Ecosystem

Our company has a strong commitment to sustainable and regenerative agriculture. Farmers are encouraged to use natural fertilizers and preventative organic pest control products, to allow beneficial insects, birds and other animals to continue to thrive.

Our team designs solutions for specific soils and flowers to preserve the long term health of the plants and surrounding eco-system.

We are committed to ensuring that the people, soil and environment of the areas from which we source our materials, experience a positive uplift as a result of our business.  
Sustainability in Action
As part of our commitment to sustainability, the solid waste generated from flower processing is repurposed to create nutrient-rich compost. This natural fertilizer is then provided to farmers associated with our company, promoting eco-friendly agricultural practices.
 
By converting organic waste into compost, we not only minimize environmental impact but also support the farming community with a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, contributing to healthier soil and improved crop yield.

We prohibit the use of plastics throughout our supply chain. Our company provides jute and cloth bags to the farmers for harvesting, storage and transport of the raw materials we use in our products.

Empowering hands that grow nature’s finest

Investing in Small Farmers

Our network of farmers extends all over Pakistan, particularly the agricultural heart in Punjab. We have liberated many of these farmers from the influence of manipulative commission agents and middlemen.

We support farmers in opening bank accounts and payments for all our materials are done through banking channels directly to the people who grow them.

Farmers are provided with plants and other inputs to support and expand cultivation. We provide equipment for the farmers and often extend interest free loans and advances to support both on farm and personal expenses.

The Only Manufacturer of Absolutes in Pakistan

We are Pakistan's only producer of these sophisticated and sought after natural ingredients for the international cosmetics, perfumery and aromatherapy markets.

Our unique position allows us to provide high-quality, eco-friendly products, benefiting both the farmers and the broader industry by offering an ethically sourced alternative to traditional ingredients.
