Founded in 2005, HORDESIA originally began as a consultancy firm specializing in horticulture and plant protection in tropical environments. Through this work, the founders noticed a lack of value placed on certain neglected crops, with some even at risk of disappearing. In 2018, to address this issue and revive interest in these forgotten ingredients, HORDESIA launched a catering service called Sekayi, dedicated to introducing consumers to unique and creative recipes featuring these products.
HORDESIA aims to promote forgotten or lesser-known ingredients through innovative, original recipes, offering consumers new culinary experiences. With a constant focus on research and development, the founders strive to create high-quality products by transforming sustainably produced raw materials.
HORDESIA collaborates with the AES, a non-governmental organisation, based in the Lomami Province of the DRC. This partnership focuses on the conservation of endangered plants by multiplying species and promoting sustainable transformation and preservation techniques. AES plays a critical role in ensuring that the company’s efforts are aligned with local needs and support the broader goal of protecting and promoting local biodiversity.
HORDESIA plans to expand their activities by developing similar operations in the DRC. They also aim to increase the distribution of their products to larger retail outlets in Belgium, thereby growing their market and reaching a broader audience with their unique offerings.
