Rooted in Nature. Powered by Innovation.
Baovita Limited was born in Dodoma, Tanzania, out of a vision to unlock the untapped potential of Africa’s natural superfoods and connect them to the global market. Founded in 2024 by Shady Ahmed, an American entrepreneur with a deep commitment to sustainability, local empowerment, and health innovation, Baovita is more than just a food processing company—it’s a bridge between rural African farmers and the global wellness economy.
We started with one of Africa’s most powerful native fruits: the baobab. Known as the “Tree of Life,” the baobab fruit is rich in vitamin C, calcium, potassium, antioxidants, and prebiotic fibers. Recognizing its global demand and local abundance, Baovita established a factory that processes baobab powder, baobab oil, and other derivatives—with a strong focus on quality, hygiene, and innovation.
Today, Baovita also produces:
What sets Baovita apart is our use of cutting-edge technology, including UV sterilization and magnetic resonance (MR) extraction, which preserve the full nutritional integrity of our products—making us one of the first in East Africa to implement such innovation.
We work hand-in-hand with over 5,000 smallholder farmers, paying fair prices and reinvesting in community development. Our goal is not only to build a world-class African food company but to create a sustainable model that benefits both people and planet.
At Baovita, we believe Africa’s fruits hold the future of global nutrition—and we’re proud to be at the forefront of that movement.
