Avolio was established in 2021 by a team of enthusiastic and motivated individuals who wanted to help people maximize the use of Ugandan avocado and its highly nutritious oil. We realized the abundance of avocado in Uganda, but found that since Uganda is a landlocked country, avocados and other goods cannot be easily exported except by air. This isn’t always practical or sustainable. Because of this, we decided to build a facility in Uganda to process avocados in a way that is sustainable, efficient, and highly effective.
We process the fruit and extract its oil using traditional methods and without any chemical additives. Since we do this in our state-of-the-art facility in Uganda, our work positively impacts a significant number of local farmers, agents, truckers, and other workers. Our Ugandan facility is well-maintained, so our processing is done in optimal hygienic conditions.
Our facility is also well equipped to handle the extraction of large amounts of avocado, so we can product 100% pure avocado oil on a commercial scale. Our team of researchers also work diligently to ensure that we evolve and are constantly providing our customers with the level of quality they deserve.

Health Benefits of Avocado Oil
Avocado oil is highly nutritious and has plenty of beneficial properties. Just a few of these are:
