Our natural resource division focuses on the trade of high-demand products, with particular emphasis on Arabic gum and other valuable resources.

Arabic gum is a resin harvested primarily in the Sahel region of Africa. It has a wide range of uses, from food and beverage additives to pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and industrial applications, and it is in high demand across the globe for its versatility and quality.

At ACTC-INC, we facilitate the export of Arabic gum from Africa to Canada and other international markets. Our supply chain delivers consistent, high-quality Arabic gum that meets international standards, while African producers receive fair economic returns.
