Activity Description: The Malambe Fruit Juice Company of Malawi produces fresh juice from the fruit of the native baobab tree for sale in local markets. Some 4000 bottles a month are supplied to major stores and hotel chains. 50% of profits are reinvested in the sustainability of the project, while 30% goes to local community, and 20% to the producers.

The Malambe Fruit Juice model provides an alternative, non-timber forest product as an important source of income generation for local communities in Malawi, the most deforested country in Southern Africa.

Hi Peter, I live in the UK and came accross this website whilst browsing online. I was looking for the malambe fruit in London and just wondered if you were exporting to the UK and which stockists have the drink here? Many thanks, Nafisa
