01 — Origin

Cultivated, not wild-collected.

Almost all licorice root traded worldwide is dug from the wild. That single fact drives most of the quality and compliance problems buyers face with this raw material.

Wild-collected root

  • Origin field unknown — no traceability
  • Agrochemical history unknown and uncontrollable
  • Root age and diameter vary batch to batch
  • High soil and sand load; washing quality varies
  • Volume depends on what collectors find that season
  • Difficult to evidence in sustainability reporting

Oxus — our own plantations

  • Every batch traceable to field, plot and harvest date
  • Agronomy under our control and documented
  • Planned harvest — consistent root age and grading
  • Drum-washed under running water, controlled process
  • Planned volume: 5,000 t per year, FCL-ready
  • Cultivated origin, straightforward to document

Native terroir. The Aral region of Karakalpakstan is one of the natural homes of Glycyrrhiza glabra. Mineral-rich soil and a dry continental climate suit the species — and let us cultivate it at scale where it already grows naturally.
