Overview

The AI-Powered Bio-Circular Industry under Ngwala Inventions is a climate-smart agritech enterprise transforming organic waste into affordable, high-performance dual action biofertilizers and biopesticides for smallholder farmers. By combining biotechnology, artificial intelligence, beneficial microbial consortia, biodegradable nano-encapsulation, and circular economy principles, we provide a sustainable alternative to synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides.

The Company converts crop residues, livestock manure, market waste, food waste, and slaughter by-products into dual-action agricultural inputs (Vuna Fresh Biopesticides) that improve soil health, increase crop productivity, and reduce environmental pollution. Through AI-powered optimization, formulations are tailored to soil conditions, crop requirements, and local waste resources, ensuring maximum effectiveness and efficiency. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i-wpCMoD0Dj0UKedlX6-WVhnYGpVr90L/view?usp=sharing

Addressing last-mile distribution challenges, the Company deploy AI driven solar-powered automated dispensing machines in rural farming (smart agri-hubs), enabling farmers to access affordable farm bio-inputs on demand through a pay-as-you-go model. Integrated digital platforms provide agronomic recommendations, usage tracking, mobile payments, and access to credit.

Company’s mission is to improve food security, increase farmer incomes, create green jobs for youth and women, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce organic wastes and accelerate the transition to regenerative, climate-smart agriculture across Africa and other emerging markets.

Established in 2021 the Company has reached over 100,000 smallholder farmers from Africa making average monthly recurring revenue of 45K in 2025. Impact reportedly are:-Cut farm input cost by 70% and save time, Reduces travel time /delays through on demand and site delivery using AI-driven solar powered dispenser machines, Increase 3x crop yields per acre and double farm income, helping farmers move from living on less than $2 per day to over $5 per day, Replace chemical farm fertilizer and pesticides ensuring food safety, Creating thousands of green and sustainable agricultural jobs for youth and women smallholder farmers and Reduces millions of tons of methane and carbon dioxide emissions and conserves the environment.

Since 2022, the Company has formed strategic partnership with African Union, United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Collaboration with United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) together with the Ministry of International Cooperation of Egypt and their stakeholders during the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), World Bank, Conservation Finance Alliance (CFA), CRDB bank , Milken Motsepe Foundation, Land accelerator under World Resource Institute (WRI), African Development Bank, MIT solve, Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH) and Ministry of Agriculture in Tanzania supporting growth and accelerate scale up. Also acquired investment from Afrishela angel investor.

Why Investing

1
Patented AI-Powered Circular Bio-Inputs
Combines biofertilizer and biopesticide in one dual-action product, delivering nutrients, pest control, and soil regeneration while potentially reducing input costs by up to 70% and improving yields.
2
AI, Data & Advanced Formulation Technology
Uses soil data, crop types, and local waste composition to optimise formulations, supported by biodegradable nano-encapsulation for controlled nutrient release. The resulting localised datasets create a continuously improving technology advantage.
3
Innovative Rural Distribution & Circular Model
Uses solar-powered, AI-enabled dispensing machines and PAYG access to bring affordable inputs directly to smallholder farmers while reducing packaging waste. At the same time, the model converts abundant organic waste into agricultural inputs, reducing landfill emissions, lowering dependence on energy-intensive synthetic fertilisers, and advancing a circular economy.
