Our Sourcing Approach

Prime Gum’s products begin with the people and landscapes where these natural resources originate. We work with experienced local harvesting communities across Kenya, Somalia, and Sudan, building relationships that support responsible collection and reliable access to quality natural gums and resins.

Our sourcing approach focuses on careful harvesting, product selection, and handling from the point of collection through to processing and export. By working closely with local partners, we are able to better understand the origin of our products while maintaining the quality and consistency our customers expect.

Suistainability

Our supply network is built around relationships with local harvesters who have generations of knowledge and experience in collecting natural gums and resins. Working closely with these communities helps us maintain dependable sourcing while creating opportunities within the regions where our products originate.

Natural gums and resins are valuable resources that depend on healthy trees, landscapes, and ecosystems. We support harvesting practices that allow these resources to be collected responsibly and help maintain their availability for future seasons.
We pay close attention to our products from sourcing through processing and export. Careful selection, handling, and quality checks help us maintain the natural characteristics of our gums and resins while providing customers with greater confidence in the products they receive.
