Amanprana: success with red palm oil
);)
Bart Maes has done it: from nothing he has created in less than five years a company in Belgium marketing health-promoting oils and fats. He seems to have found a gap in the market, because demand in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium and the Netherlands is growing continuously. As a journalist who also works for the Dutch specialist magazine Bio-Food, he has summarised the benefits of omega 3, 6, and 9 oil, and of coconut and palm oil in a number of publications based on the evaluation of scientific literature.(Picture: Bart Maes and Chantal Voets)
