Through the production of BaoActive products, it is our mission to provide our customers with the finest, most nutritious baobab powder possible, manufactured under strict HACCP and FSCC 22000 protocols with organic certification. Our mission prioritises making a meaningful contribution to the livelihoods of rural people in Venda as well as to the conservation of baobab trees. We provide ongoing support to the Baobab Foundation who work with pre-schools, tree planting, environmental education and ecological research of baobab trees.

Baobab powder comes from the baobab tree fruit pod. Did you know it can take a baobab tree up to 200 years before it produces its first hard, green-brown velvety pod-shaped fruit? We get our baobab fruit powder from EcoProducts a South African company based in the Limpopo, the heart of baobab country. They work closely with over 500 rural Venda women, providing them with an income to support their livelihoods. Only 10% of the fallen fruit is harvested, ensuring no trees are damaged in the harvesting process, nor is their ecology disturbed in any way.
