Our guiding principle

Moringa: Good for you - good for the world

On the basis of constantly growing knowledge, experience and further expansion of the partner network, we, as specialists around Moringa oleifera, want to promote the market spread of Moringa products from transparent, fair and sustainable production conditions both in Europe and by promoting cultivation, processing and sales in less developed countries, especially in Africa.

With the market dissemination of the outstanding properties of Moringa oleifera we would also like to make an important contribution to the UN Millennium Development Goals.

Our story

The path

Before the company was founded, the two founders Christof and Benjamin worked as project managers. They worked together for several years in crisis regions in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. With people and for people, they actively and successfully provided assistance in this challenging environment in the areas of health care, road construction and food security. In the process, they have realized how difficult it is to achieve a truly sustainable improvement in the situation of those affected. Again and again they have seen aid projects fail already during the funding period or shortly afterwards.

Idea and founding of the business

Projects that use locally manufactured products to enable sustainable economic activity are most likely to improve the living conditions of the local people in the long term. In his search for a locally produced product, Christof came across the outstanding characteristics of the Moringa oleifera tree. Convinced and enthusiastic about its undemanding cultivation conditions and unique nutrient richness, the idea was born in 2015 to grow, process and market Moringa olefera locally and internationally together with local partners from Africa.

Ende des Jahres 2015 gründete gründete Christof zusammen mit lokalen Partnern eine Moringa Produktionsgenossenschaft im Osten der Demokratischen Republik Kongo, sowie die Mag Mo  in Deutschland. Ab 2016 folgten die ersten erfolgreichen Schritte im Anbau, der Verarbeitung von Moringa olefeira, sowie der Start der lokalen Vermarktung von Moringablattpulver.

Neben der Schaffung von Arbeitsplätzen trägt der Konsum von Moringa oleifera nachhaltig zur Verbesserung der Ernährungs- und Gesundheitssituation der Menschen vor Ort bei.
