Vision
At Suad SilkRoad, we recognized a gap between international customers with a passion for Somali incenses and local suppliers. Our mission is to bridge this divide by connecting local incense suppliers directly to global markets, streamlining the buying and export processes. We're dedicated to helping local artisans establish direct connections with international customers, eliminating intermediaries.
Our commitment is to provide a fast, reliable, and ethical platform that safeguards the rights of local incense suppliers. We aim to counteract exploitation by third-party agencies and dealers that exploit the gap between local markets and global customers. Our goal is to create a mutually beneficial business relationship.
We take pride in our role of sourcing the freshest, purest, and cleanest frankincense, myrrh, and other incenses from Somalia. We promise our local suppliers that we'll find international customers who value their products and hard work. These dedicated artisans deserve a fair trade, and we, as Dhulkii Lubaanta, act as their representatives.
We work with over 50 local incense suppliers, ensuring a constant supply of high-quality incense from across Somalia. Our services include providing historical and benefits information about each incense, offering hospitality to customers visiting Somalia to meet local suppliers, conducting workshops to educate customers about Somali customs and the incense market, and advocating for fair trade practices.
Our vision is to restore the respectful business deals that have thrived for thousands of years, benefiting both locals and the international market. Together, we strive to uplift the livelihoods of local incense suppliers who cultivate some of the most ancient and valuable herbal plants on Earth.
