Since 2014, we have given out more than 15,000 fruit trees to the local community for free, which we have shared through various posts in the past.
Last year, we started getting requests from the local community to provide specific grafted fruit trees, with higher productive and less susceptible varieties. Therefore, we have now started to train some of our staff on doing the grafting at Wagagai.






This is not in anyway our core business. This is a small project where we see great potential to re-green and re-forest the peninsula Wagagai is located, in a way that also benefits the local community.
When handing out the fruit trees in future, we will also add our own compost and biochar mixture with every tree. We have now started to produce compost, as well as, the first Biochar at Wagagai. The ultimate purpose is a totally enclosed and circular stream of Wagagai’s green waste, which is around 15,000 m3 per year. Stay tuned to hear more updates on the Compost and Biochar project.



Overall, working on small projects like this is truly exciting. We genuinely believe these projects can make a positive impact and hopefully inspire others to adopt more circular thinking.
Our green waste can add value to the surrounding communities, and by combining it with higher-quality grafted fruit trees, we can take another exciting step forward in reducing our footprint in an innovative and sustainable way.
Are we climate neutral?
In the meantime, we are doing everything possible to gradually reduce our CO2 footprint. Composting and converting our green waste into biochar will significantly reduce our footprint even further.
In the end, we will always have some CO2 footprint, but we aim to offset it through the project we’re developing with the Chris Roberts Forest Foundation and KfW DEG. More updates on this project will follow soon.
