| Detailed information on the Star Product |
Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal are trees that grow wild and naturally in arid regions of Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia and Tanzania. They produce a sap which hardens into a natural organic gum. The gum produced by Acacia senegal is often referred to as “Gum Hashab”. The gum produced by Acacia seyal is often referred to as "Gum Talha".
Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal are superior products and used primarily as a stabilizer in the food industry. Gum Arabic also has a wide range of industrial applications such as use in the production of paints, inks, cosmetics, glue, and viscosity control in textile industries.
Both Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal are also highly valued for medicinal properties and used to predict blood serum, reduce cholesterol in blood, protect against heart diseases, reduce gut inflammations, and is even used as an analgesic.
Nagaad Resins and Gums, in collaboration with the local communities, harvests the gum for further processing and sales.
