Moringa Connect is changing the story for the 120 million small farming families in Africa using moringa, a crop known locally as the “miracle tree” for its nutritional, medicinal and economic value. The company uses its vertically integrated supply chain to turn nutritious moringa leaves into moringa-powered superfood beverages and snacks under their Minga Foods brand, and moringa oilseeds into clean beauty products under their award-winning True Moringa brand. MoringaConnect increases the incomes of smallholder farmers, providing the technical training, planting inputs, and guaranteed market they need to kickstart moringa tree farms. Since becoming operational in the last quarter of 2013, MoringaConnect has created 90 jobs along the value chain for women and youth, engaged over 3000 farming families, and planted over 500,000 trees.
