Albania
Helichrysum is native to Albania , so this was the perfect place for dōTERRA to source its essential oil from . Albania has a long history of growing helichrysum , but the business practices in the country were far from ideal . Farmers often encountered delayed payments or no payment at all and because the crops are seasonal , it was hard to predict their income in the long term .
Our partners on the ground were able to create trusting relationships with local farmers and sign long term contracts to guarantee financial stability . This allows farmers to invest and expand their lands , generating a positive impact in the community and local economy .
