Mugala Naturals: Organic food venture that is powering a climate-smart future
Mugala Naturals exhibited a poster and its products at the NUS Africa's regional stakeholders conference (9 - 11 June 2026. Accra, Ghana).
Mugala Naturals Kenya is a Nairobi-based agrifood enterprise founded by Kenyan entrepreneur Andrew Egala with the mission of transforming indigenous African crops into nutritious, climate-smart food products. Established in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, the company promotes a “food as medicine” approach by processing traditional grains such as sorghum and millet into gluten-free, low-glycemic foods targeted at health-conscious consumers and people living with diabetes and other non-communicable diseases. Through its Green Without Borders initiative, Mugala Naturals has positioned itself at the intersection of nutrition, climate resilience, and sustainable agriculture, demonstrating the commercial potential of Africa’s forgotten and underutilized crops.
Beyond food processing, Mugala Naturals works closely with smallholder farmers in Kenya’s semi-arid regions to create inclusive value chains for indigenous crops. The company promotes sorghum, millet, cassava, honey, peanut products, instant porridge mixes, and other plant-based foods while advocating for biodiversity conservation, healthy diets, and climate-resilient farming systems.
