Organic Africa Holdings - Zimbabwe

Organic Africa was established as a Zimbabwean social enterprise by its CEO Dominik Collenberg in 2007. Organic Africa produces certified herbs, spices, essential oils, and indigenous medicinal plants, such as basil, calendula, cornflower, ginger, paprika, devils’ claw, baobab powder, baobab seed oil, marula oil, ximenia oil, and mafura butter. The company sources raw materials from its own farms, smallholder farmers and wild collectors. Over 60% of its employees and suppliers are women.

Organic Africa sources most herbs, spices, and medicinal plants from the farms owned by its two subsidiaries, Stevia Zimbabwe, and La Rochelle Organics. After sourcing the raw material is centrally dried, sorted and packed for shipping. B’Ayoba and KaZa, two other subsidiaries of the group, collect baobab fruits, oil seeds and plants from wild collectors, and process into baobab fruits powders, baobab dry fibres and natural oils.
