Ripe Marula fruit is gathered from the wild, by hand, in the tribal heartlands of the Limpopo province in South Africa.
The Marula Natural Products company is an eco-friendly, low-tech enterprise designed to uplift women in rural communities and provide a sustainable income for families in the tribal lands of the Limpopo valley. Marula products are fairly traded and directly benefit rural villages while encouraging the protection of the Marula trees in their natural environment.
