A family-owned global specialty ingredients company faced a major disruption in its French botanical operations after losing its two primary Chilean Rosehip oil suppliers, resulting in drastically reduced volumes and inflated prices. FAF Developments was engaged to analyze and restructure the supply chain, ultimately leading to the acquisition of a distressed but reputable Chilean botanical company with strong grower networks. FAF implemented financial, technical, and supply chain controls, restoring sustainable production across 3,000 hectares in Patagonia through smallholder partnerships. With certified organic and Fair for Life practices, the company now supplies Rosehip oil and a growing range of botanical extracts to markets in the U.S., Europe, Oceania, and Asia—delivering long-term supply resilience, traceability, and market competitiveness.
