Golden Africa Djibouti SARL has firmly established itself as a leading force in the edible oil industry, setting benchmarks for innovation, quality, and sustainability across East Africa and beyond. Headquartered in the strategic port city of Djibouti, the company has quickly risen to prominence, operating one of the largest and most advanced edible oil manufacturing and packaging facilities in the Horn of Africa.
Recognised by Global Brands Magazine as both the Best Edible Oil Manufacturing Facility – Africa and the Best Edible Oil Brand – Africa for its flagship products, Liba and Al-Naqi Refined Cooking Oil brands, Golden Africa Djibouti continues to drive excellence at every level of its operations.
At the heart of Golden Africa’s success is its world-class plant, equipped with cutting-edge refining and packaging technology.

This infrastructure provides a critical logistical advantage, supporting a robust and agile supply chain that serves markets across Africa and the Middle East.
Beyond its core products, Golden Africa demonstrates leadership in sustainability through its production of valuable byproducts such as Palm Fatty Acid Distillate (PFAD) and stearin. These components are essential in various industries, and their efficient utilisation reflects the company’s commitment to reducing waste and maximising value throughout its production process.
