The company due to the accession of Cyprus into the E.U has a lot of opportunities to expand into new products never touched before because of the high import duties. The possibility of a solution to the Cyprus problem will enable the company to expand into a new market area within the Northen Cyprus.

This gives a rare opportunity to our Sesame factory, as products like, tahina, halva and sesame are highly consumed in the Northen part of Cyprus. We have already tested our quality and prices to competitive products produced in the North part of Cyprus and indeed we are very competitive.
