About Us
To become the leading provider of high-quality post-harvest solutions in East Africa.
Reduce food waste, empower women, and restore ecosystems—one acacia tree and one fresh tomato at a time.
Our gum arabic solution is safe, organic, and chemical-free. Just one 22.5-liter bucket preserves 1,000 kg of produce—at just $20 per application.
• 3g sachet for home use
• 22.5L bucket for farmers and transporters
• Coming soon: Powder mix sachets for farmer self-preparation
We harvest gum from acacia trees, clean and process it, and produce a solution that can be applied to fruits and vegetables to delay ripening and spoilage. No refrigeration needed.
With NextFarm, farmers gain shelf life, retailers reduce spoilage, and everyone wins.
We connect farmers using NextFarm with retailers who prioritize freshness and low spoilage risk. Our "Badge of Honor" sticker identifies NextFarm -treated produce and ensures market preference.
