Sustainability Report Insight: Bacognize® Traceability and Community Impact

Written by
Verdure Sciences® is committed to building long-term partnerships with growers and local communities. A clear example is their Bacognize®, Bacopa Extract, where traditional millet and rice farmers now grow bacopa. This initiative supports local communities by providing steady jobs for labourers, positively impacting numerous families. As a result, farmer retention – which started in 2019 – remains strong today.

To ensure high quality and efficiency, polyhouse drying technology has been implemented to reduce drying time by 50% compared to traditional sun drying and in addition, minimise fungal contamination. The entire farming cycle is led by a community farmer group, which oversees operations and receives support at every stage. Expanded warehouse capacity now stores up to 250 metric tons of dried bacopa, ensuring year-round supply and reduced waste. See the impact yourself: Download our Sustainability Report.
