Oleifera international Botswana is the National Implementation Arm of the Oleifera International Global in Botswana holding 40% shares while 60% is owned by the international body.

1. What is Oleifera International?

Oleifera International is the global parent organisation and strategic authority under which all national Oleifera entities operate. It was established to lead the international development, coordination, and trade of Moringa Oleifera and other high-value botanical crops, with a strong emphasis on sustainability, quality, and ethical global supply chains.

Oleifera International provides the vision, governance, standards, and global market architecture that underpin all country-level operations. It is not merely a holding entity, but an active global coordinator shaping how botanical value chains are designed, governed, and connected to international markets.

Global Leadership and Governance

Oleifera International is led by Chairman Anthony Charles Onslow Tosswill, who provides overarching strategic leadership, institutional direction, and global stewardship of the Oleifera vision.

To support continental execution, Oleifera International has appointed a Chief Executive Officer for Africa, based in South Africa, responsible for:

  • Coordinating African country operations
  • Ensuring alignment with global standards and strategy
  • Driving regional market integration
  • Supporting national subsidiaries in execution and scale-up

This governance structure ensures that all African operations, including Botswana, are coherent, disciplined, and globally aligned.

Oleifera International operates globally as a botanical value-chain integrator, with core functions that include:

2.1 Global Market Development and Offtake

The organisation develops and manages international markets for:

  • Moringa leaf products (powder, tea, capsules)
  • Moringa seed oil and derivatives
  • Botanical ingredients for nutraceutical, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and functional food industries

It ensures that production across countries is demand-driven, contract-oriented, and quality-assured.

2.2 Global Standards, Quality, and Certification Frameworks

Oleifera International establishes and enforces:

  • Production and processing standards

This positions the organisation within global SDG, ESG, and climate finance ecosystems.

3. Oleifera International Botswana – A National Subsidiary and Implementation Entity

Oleifera International Botswana Proprietary Limited is the officially registered Botswana national subsidiary of Oleifera International.

It exists to implement the global Oleifera strategy within Botswana, translating international standards, markets, and systems into local production, value addition, and export outcomes aligned with Botswana’s development priorities.

Oleifera International Botswana is not an independent initiative, but an integral component of the Oleifera International global network.

Oleifera International Botswana will be led by:

  • Country Head of Mission:
    Elfas Zadzagomo (Hunter)

  • Direct accountability to the global Oleifera framework
  • Effective engagement with farmers, institutions, government, and partners

The Head and Deputy Head of Mission are responsible for national execution, coordination, and representation, while remaining aligned to the strategic authority of Oleifera International and its African CEO.

  • International legitimacy

  • Long-term sustainability

This is the correct positioning for engagement with governments, investors, UN agencies, and international buyers.
