Green Post-Harvest Solutions for Africa

Post-Harvest Losses Drain Food Security

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.

Our Vision

To be the leading provider of green agricultural post-harvest solutions in Kenya and sub-Saharan Africa.

Our 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 Proposition

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.

Why We Started

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.
