The association, Entreprendre au Féminin ? Océan Indien has decided to set up a project of distillation of essential oils using vetiver roots. The project will be carried out in collaboration with Ferme des Iles Association, which will primarily use the plants for treating pig effluents and after harvesting provide the roots to EFOI for the other uses thus providing a source of economic activity for women entrepreneurs. Dried vetiver roots will be used for handicraft purposes.
