Moringa Processing Prototype

Acceso is a social business builder that brings entrepreneurial solutions to global poverty. Acceso builds, invests start-up capital into, manages, and scales agribusinesses that work with smallholder farmers and fishers. They improve the livelihoods of these producers and their communities by improving agricultural productivity, creating job opportunities, and facilitating long-term linkages to high-value markets. To support a partnership of smallholder farmers in Anse-a-Veau, Haiti, Acceso is developing a moringa plant processing facility. This facility will process moringa leaves, seeds (for oil products), lime, and mango products for local, and international bulk export. Seeing the potential for economic growth to local communities, Acceso will be duplicating this effort throughout the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, and looked to Adaptiv to design a prototypical facility. Adaptiv engaged project stakeholders to produce a prototype facility package. The prototype provides schematic design for building plans, massing, and systems. The prototype package provides a flexible basis of design to encourage the harvesting of local crops as Acceso expands its pioneering entrepreneurial model.
