Neem Processing
The Sustainable Village plans to import Kwetu produced neem oil
products and market them through our partners in the US. Many people
think of the neem tree as an answer to many global problems. Used
to cure 40 sicknesses, it also works as a biological pesticide and
fertilizer.The seeds are processed into oil, neem cake, dermatological
soap and candles which work as insect repellent.
Kwetu also uses the power of the sun to dry fruits and vegetables.
This preserves them beyond the harvesting season and creates a lasting
product for an expanded market. They dry tropical fruits like mangoes,
pineapples, bananas, guava, paw paw, as well as vegetables and herbs
harvested from their organic farm - tomatoes, spinach, fennel, aubergines,
dill, basil, lemon grass, and ginger.This department also trains
in the production of jams, marmalades, chutneys and pickles.
