Palm oil carries a bad reputation — deforestation, land grabbing, loss of biodiversity… But what if the issue isn’t the plant itself, but the way it’s produced?
RougeCongo is writing a different story — one where palm oil becomes a driver of sustainability and community growth:
🌿 Cultivated on degraded savanna land, not forests
👨🏾🌾 Produced in partnership with smallholder farmers who intercrop palm with fruit trees, acacias, and bananas
🌱 A model that preserves biodiversity and diversifies farmers’ income
💪 A nutrient-rich, unrefined red palm oil, the way it’s traditionally consume in DRC, naturally high in carotenoids and vitamin E
At AlphaSeeds, we believe this is what responsible agribusiness looks like — using a crop the right way making it an engine for positive change.
💬 What do you think — can palm oil be sustainable?
