A warm WA welcome to doTERRA
We recently welcomed doTERRA’s leading representatives from their fast-growing Chinese essential oil business to Fasera’s Kochii Eucalyptus Oil distillery in Kulja for their supplier tour.
Our 104 guests were able to see firsthand the Kochii oil mallee estate, comprising of young trees planted in 2021 as part of a doTERRA grower partnership, the mature trees as part of our carbon estate, as well as the distillation facility and pyrolysis plant located on Fasera’s Canterbury Farm.
The day long excursion allowed the group to see the wheatbelt at it's summer best, with the hot dry weather broken up with a dramatic storm and even a few mm of rain. January in Western Australia’s wheatbelt isn't typically the season for international tours, with an ambient temperature of 43°C and the distillery at 50° C!
Fasera and Kochii were pleased to be able to host such an enthusiastic and committed group, who were engaged in absorbing the Kochii story and who will present the origins of this unique essential oil to the Chinese market.

Fasera and C-Twelve Trial Biochar For Paving
For three months, Fasera and C-Twelve trialled the production of char from waste grain and plastics, to be used as part of C-Twelve’s innovative emulsion-based road base solution.
Around Australia, the small percentage of grain dust and sweeps from our agricultural industries add up to thousands of tonnes per year. Tarps used to cover the modern bunk stores have a finite life, with both products having previously ended up in landfill.
Pyrloysing a mix of the two products provides C-Twelve with a biochar that is suited to their cold mix paving solution, effectively creating carbon negative solutions for road surfacing, while building stronger roads.
For example, one study found that the addition of biochar to cold mix road surfacing improved the mechanical properties of the mixture, and reduced the amount of asphalt binder required by up to 25 percent.
Fasera and C-Twelve have established a working partnership that will continue to provide Fasera Char to C-Twelve for this breakthrough paving solution.
