The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.

In today’s world gum acacia is used in lot of products. And it has an increasing use as prebiotic for personal use as it is a healthy natural ingredient. The gum is derived from the acacia tree.

All our products are harvested from farmers we know.
Farmers are very happy because they get:

What people say about FOGA

FOGA is aware of the pitfalls that Darfur can entail and wants to avoid government interference. “We just want to work to provide the gum farmers with a better income. For this we take the international price, subtract the costs for processing and export, then we are left with a price that is sometimes twice the amount of what farmers get now.”

This year (2023) Ecosia will plant 500.000 trees together with FOGA in Sudan. We hope it will be millions in the next years to come. When those trees produce gum, it will be processed in the factories of FOGA. Parts of the profit will be reinvested in planting more trees.
