Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Rozelle Abramson, the founder of the South Africa-based chilli sauce producer Fynbos Fine Foods, has said the growing global fascination with baobab powder is advantageous for countries like Zimbabwe, which boasts a wealth of baobab trees.<\/p>\n

Baobab powder is extracted from the fruit of the baobab tree. It contains nearly four times the vitamin C found in oranges and is a source of essential minerals such as potassium and magnesium.<\/p>\n

According to How We Made It in Africa<\/b>, Zimbabwe is home to an estimated five million baobab trees, with approximately 3.75 million of them situated on communal lands.<\/p>\n

This abundance presents a significant opportunity for commercial exploitation.<\/p>\n

Entrepreneur Gus Le Breton, whose company B\u2019Ayoba processes baobab into powder and seed oil for export, estimates that Zimbabwe could sustainably harvest around 12 000 tonnes of fruit annually, a substantial increase from the current annual harvest of 1 500 tonnes.
\nLe Breton played a pivotal role in securing European Union market approval for baobab powder back in 2008.<\/p>\n

A prominent manufacturer of milk, beverages, and food products, Dairibord Zimbabwe Limited, has introduced a baobab beverage under its Cascade brand.<\/p>\n

Dairibord\u2019s new baobab beverage aims to tap into the demand for indigenous offerings and their associated health benefits.<\/p>\n

It is made with real baobab pulp, emphasizing value addition and the commercialization of indigenous foods that were previously underutilized.<\/p>\n

Until recently, the market for baobab powder was primarily limited to Africa. However, in 2020, the global market for baobab powder was estimated at US$6 billion, and projections indicate it will reach a revised size of US$8.5 billion by 2027.<\/p>\n
