These products are designed for various culinary and industrial applications. Refined rice oil is primarily used in food preparation, valued for its high smoke point and neutral flavor. Rice lecithin acts as an emulsifier in food products, while distilled fatty acid is utilized in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.

Irgovel's revenue model revolves around B2B transactions, partnering with food manufacturers, retailers, and distributors for the sale of its refined rice oil and rice lecithin. The company engages in wholesale agreements, allowing clients to order large quantities for commercial use, thereby ensuring a streamlined supply chain. Pricing is determined based on market conditions and client agreements, supporting stable revenue streams and fostering long-term relationships with key industry players across multiple sectors. Irgovel aims to expand its product offerings and market presence.

The company is working on new product designs and anticipates launching these products in the upcoming year. Additionally, Irgovel plans to penetrate new geographic regions, particularly targeting further expansion into North America and Europe by the end of 2024. The recent investment from Alothon Group will be utilized to facilitate these initiatives, including the potential acquisition of additional shares contingent upon meeting EBITDA targets.
