Baobab Products Scoop Top Awards for Natural Products
PRESS RELEASE
The winner of the PhytoTrade Africa Best in Show Award, for the best product exhibited at the 2009 Natural & Organic Products Exhibition in Cape Town went to Sarah Venter of Eco Products who received a cash prize of R15,000 and an all-expenses-paid booth at next year's Expo, sponsored by the organisers. Venter said that the award "has meant an enormous amount to us. Working with rural communities is very different from the business world, where decisions are based on profitability. Our success is not based on how much money we make, but on how well we have managed to balance the needs of people, the environment and our financial margins. The award really recognizes our success at bringing baobab oil to the market in this environment and we are so grateful for the support".
