 purchasing our products. The reputation of our products, particularly our GMO free cold-pressed vegetable oils, is critical to the success of our business. We believe consumers are attracted to our cold pressed vegetable oils, which are pressed and ground without the use of chemicals or solvents. For fiscal years June 30, 2024 and 2023, we derived approximately 85% and 89%, respectively, of our total revenue from the sale of cold pressed vegetable oils with the balance from the sale of vegetable protein meals extracted from oil seeds. We cannot assure you that our marketing and promotional activities will remain effective going forward. If we fail to successfully market or promote our brands, our brand recognition may be adversely affected and the demand for our products may decline or fail to increase as much as we expect.

Our success is, to a certain extent, attributable to the management, sales and marketing, and research and development expertise of key personnel. We are dependent upon the services of Gary Seaton for our continued growth and operation because of their experience in the industry and their personal and business contacts. Although we have no reason to believe that Gary Seaton will discontinue their services with us, the interruption or loss of their services would adversely affect our ability to effectively run our business and pursue our business strategy as well as our results of operations. Besides, our success depends on the continuous devotion of our directors and senior management, and they are well experienced and have a deep understanding as to our business and operation. The loss of these officers could have
