Maungo Craft

Marula Oil processors go through 300 tonnes of Marula fruit pulp to extract just 12 tonnes of cosmetic oil. We asked ourselves, what exactly happens to all that fruit?

At Maungo Craft we make Award-Winning, preserves and sauces using indigenous fruits like Marula and Baobab. We work with oil processors that extract Marula oil while we save the fruit, turning it into award-winning preserves and sauces. By working with the Indigenous Oil processors we help to employ around 1000 mostly female harvesters down the value chain in the villages like Gabane.

As Maungo Craft we also work with local farmers for our vegetables. Combining Marula Natural Cosmetic Oil Processors and local farmers we link a Climate Change Resistant value chain of cosmetic oil and food production in Marula. In doing so we help to:

1. Eliminate food waste,

2. Create employment

3. Combat climate change.  

4. Improve food security

Based on the symbiotic relationships that we have formed with local farmers and natural cosmetic oil producers, we are unlocking the bottle neck of food waste! We at Maungo Craft work to be the solution to the question that we asked ourselves: “What happens to all that fruit?” Maungo Craft- We put our Culture in a Bottle!
