Turn a soil investment into a decade of higher value fruit yield.
Uganda's Hass avocado grows on acidic, phosphorus-fixing soils with low exchange capacity. Avocado feeder roots have no root hairs and depend on mycorrhizal fungi - biochar's pores are a purpose-built home for that partner, and its porosity drains the standing water root rot needs.
One Hass tree: 7.5 kg foundation dose returns 5x+ over ten years.

Soil, Livestock & Water
Made: Biomass
Made for: Soil and nurseries, livestock bedding and feed, water and industrial filtration.
Quality: Certified per batch:
Risks in use: When not applied with knowledge it can have adverse effects.
Filter
Made: Charcoal re-heated to 800-1,000 °C with steam or chemicals to open an extreme pore surface.
Made for: Filtering water, air and medicines; deactivating herbicides.
Quality: Industrial grade, very fine powder or granules, costs many times biochar.
Risks in use: Very costly; in soil it adsorbs

We produce premium biochar in Uganda using local agricultural residues and controlled low-emission
Our granules lock carbon into the soil for centuries and make farms more resilient to drought - produced near the farms that use it, together with Ugandan growers and co-operatives.
