Moringa Initiative

Moringa Initiative was established in 2013 in Zambia. Currently we are farming 35 hectares of Moringa oleifera and producing 120 tonnes of dried leaf per annum. Our farming practices ensure that we boost the socio-economic status of Zambia. Currently we employ over 100 Zambian farmers, whom 85% are women. All farmers are thoroughly trained in order to produce the highest quality moringa. As well as being trained and mentored, all farmers are given free health care and housing. We pride ourselves in the quality of our product, being transparent in all our farming processes and practices. Our Moringa is dried in a conventional heat exchange system where temperature, humidity and air circulation are carefully monitored, resulting in high quality dried moringa leaves. Evan Kilburn, Founder, farmer and mentor at Moringa Initiative, has been a commercial farmer for the last 30 years. He has recently been named the chairman of the Moringa Growers Association within the Zambian Bureau of Standards and is responsible for assessing and highlighting the importance of producing high quality moringa throughout Zambia. As of March last year, a branch was opened in Durban. This put is closer to the Durban port and gave us an opportunity to break into the South African and global markets. Moringa is a 100% natural superfood containing over 92 different nutrients, 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatories. It's uses are endless.
