Our Vision
To be the leading provider of green agricultural post-harvest solutions in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa.
About
The Challenge
Farmers lose about 30% of food globally — and up to 40% in Africa — to post-harvest losses. Insect pests attacking stored grains are a major driver of that waste.
Molepse BioResources researches alternative approaches for food security in Africa, developing bio-pesticides from medicinal plants as health- and environment-friendly alternatives to harmful conventional pesticides.
Vision
To be the leading provider of green agricultural post-harvest solutions in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa.
Mission
To develop and commercialise health- and environment-friendly bio-pesticides of plant origin for the prevention and control of insect pest attack on stored grains.
Value
Protect crops in storage, improve farmer and trader income, and support safer food — using products from medicinal plants available locally in Kenya, available as oil, powder or slow-release forms.
Personal Story
Growing up in rural central Kenya, weevils routinely destroyed maize in family stores. Synthetic pesticides were expensive and often ineffective. The loss of a family member to illness linked to pesticide exposure deepened the resolve to find a better way.
That experience inspired Donatus Njoroge’s Master’s research and the invention of Molepse’s multi-award-winning organic bio-pesticide products — practical alternatives rooted in local medicinal plants.
