Forest Africa Zambia LimitedProcessing indigenous wild fruits into organic juices and baobab seed oil
2023 SEED Climate Adaptation Award Lauréat-e Biodiversity Lusaka, Zambia
Forest Africa Zambia Limited is actively driving Ecosystem-Based Adaptation (EbA), a critical ingredient in catalysing biodiversity protection through the promotion of rural community commerce.
By applying a zero-waste philosophy, all the parts of the baobab fruit are used. Additionally, some seeds are reserved for reforestation. Other fruits currently being processed are the Monkey bread and the African Medlar. The income impact of wild fruit valorisation is very high because wild fruits are free to communities within proximate forest areas.
The products are directly supplied to over 200 retail shops in and around the Lusaka area, Southern, and Copperbelt Provinces. The company is creating income for rural communities that are the primary collectors of wild fruits.
