Such trade shows have become a crucial space of opportunity for upcoming businesses, manufacturers, and investors, and are a center for creativity, innovation, and the sharing of disruptive practices.

Humanity Africa’s sister entity Nutri-globe has social interests of producing, packaging and marketing Moringa products in Zambia. The dried leaves of the Moringa tree are a vital source of nutrition for many communities because Moringa contains high amounts of Vitamins A, B6, C, E, as well as Iron, Riboflavin, and Zinc. The high content of nutrition and antioxidants in Moringa makes it a key ingredient for the nutrition of communities who are now facing malnutrition and stunted growth, among other issues. Nutri-globe works with female-led farming cooperatives in rural Zambia to grow Moringa, which will be used to improve local nutrition and help farmers earn a sustainable livelihood by selling Moringa products in the UK.

Nutri-Globe’s new Moringa products include tea, loose powder, capsules, and a nutrition bar. Humanity Africa was invited to the AFRO Packaging and Food Manufacturing exhibition. The main focus was on meeting potential sellers of packaging for our new products in order to develop our business.

The exhibition created a great atmosphere and exciting opportunity to network with so many people from various parts of Africa. Mr. Bhupinder Singh Baidwan, was honored to be able to take part of the event and was proud to have the opportunity to represent Zambia.
