Every decision that is made is based on the protection of the environment and the upliftment of the local community.
Alan Rahme

From the beginning the focus has been to create a company that promotes local knowledge, working with local communities in a way that is not just sustainable but also competitive
Alexia Duparchy

By creating employment in such a remote location, Botanica promotes sustainable families due to family members not moving to urban areas to pursue employment opportunities.

Botanica Natural Products has developed an integrated scorecard to track the success that it achieves on social, environmental and economic objectives.

The company is situated in a remote part of Limpopo to help alleviate social struggles of the area and to take advantage of the beneficial climate for growing plants organically.

On ten hectares of land in rural Limpopo, Botanica Natural Products cultivates Bulbine frutescens, an aloe-like succulent plant. With an extraction technique developed by the enterprise, the gel of the plant, valuable for skin and hair care products, is derived in a local production facility meeting European pharmaceutical standards.

The EcoCert certified organic products are sold to markets primarily in West Africa. The local community benefits from the use of the plant through an Access and Benefit Sharing Agreement. The enterprise’s organic production methods help to preserve biodiversity.
