Natural Extracts Industries (NEI) Ltd, established in November 2011, is a social enterprise pioneering the sustainable manufacture of flavours in Tanzania, starting with vanilla, cacao and orange. The company works in all areas from cultivation, to post-harvest processing, to value-add manufacturing and to international sales and marketing. The company’s supply chain strategy aims to partner with and capacitate local farmer groups and cooperatives to ensure consistency and continuity of supply, while ensuring that fair prices are passed back to the farmers. Our products are used by industrial food processors (ice creameries, dairies, beverages), commercial bakeries, and a range of restaurants and hotels, while our retail products are distributed within East Africa by supermarkets, boutique delis and gift shops.
