Our Story
In 2016, Junko and Yukiyoshi Arisaka, two of the founding members of Verde Marula, traveled to Mozambique to establish Verde Africa, a company that sells recycled briquette in Mozambique.
In Africa, wood fuel is still the main source of cooking energy, which is closely related to the economic constraints of the region, and Verde Africa aims to provide economic renewable energy to the African people and contribute to forest conservation and job creation.
The "Verde" in Verde Africa means "green" in Portuguese. We hope that the natural environment and local communities in Africa will become rich and green. This is the reason why we named our company Verde Africa.
Through our business activities in Africa, we have come to understand that there are very few opportunities for cash income in rural area communities in Africa, and on the other hand, there are many valuable unused agricultural resources. If we can bring to the overseas market what has not been paid attention to in rural areas, we can create new value. It can also bring a new economic cycle to the community.
For the past five years, I have been searching for a business where Africa and Japan can be win-win together. After five years of searching for a business that would allow Africa and Japan, I came across a plant-based skin care oil native to southern Africa. The raw materials for cosmetics made from wild species of plants native to the region are organic and have been used since ancient times as remedies and skin care products, and are all community-based. We were fascinated by the tangible effects and stories, and began to think about expanding our business in Japan.
