LEADERSHIP & TEAM

The people building Rijona.

Rijona brings together business leadership, research, supply-chain development, production and market engagement around one shared goal: building greater value from neem and local resources.

RIJONA Research. Production. Markets. Community.

Different strengths. One direction.

Rijona's work cuts across several disciplines. Building the company requires more than product development alone — it also requires research, financial management, production, sourcing, marketing and relationships with farmers and communities.

The team works across those areas while continuing to build the systems needed to move Rijona from product development into larger-scale production, distribution and growth.
