About the association
Who We Are
The New Growth Organic Farmers Association is a farmer group formed and supported by New Growth Africa Ventures Limited. The association brings together smallholder farming families from across Tanzania who grow ginger and turmeric using fully organic methods — no synthetic pesticides, no artificial fertilisers, and no compromise on soil health.
The association was established to give individual farmers the collective strength of a structured group: shared training, access to certified organic inputs, consistent agronomic support, and a guaranteed market for their harvest. Every member farms under the same organic protocols, and every crop is traceable back to the individual farm.
Our crops
What Our Farmers Grow
Association members specialise in two of Tanzania's most valuable organic spice crops — ginger and turmeric. Both are grown in the fertile highland soils of Tanzania, where the climate and soil conditions produce rhizomes of exceptional quality and potency.
Organic Ginger
Ginger is the foundation crop of the association. Members have cultivated ginger for generations, and the association has formalised and certified that knowledge under organic standards. Our ginger is known for its high oleoresin content, strong aroma, and consistent quality across harvests.
- Certified organic
- Traceable to individual farm
- Available fresh, dried & powdered
Organic Turmeric
Turmeric is grown alongside ginger by association members, taking advantage of the same highland soil conditions and organic farming practices. Our turmeric delivers high curcumin content and vibrant colour — qualities that are in strong demand in health food, nutraceutical, and culinary markets worldwide.
- High curcumin content
- Certified organic
- Available fresh, dried & powdered

How the Association Works
Membership & Training
Farmers join the association and receive comprehensive training in organic farming practices, record-keeping, and post-harvest handling. Training is delivered by our in-house agronomists and refreshed each season.
Organic Input Supply
The association provides members with certified organic seeds, compost, and biological inputs at the start of each growing season, ensuring every farm operates to the same standard.
Field Monitoring & Compliance
Our agronomists conduct regular farm visits throughout the growing season to verify organic compliance, advise on crop health, and maintain the traceability records required for export certification.
Collective Harvest & Offtake
At harvest, the association aggregates produce from all member farms. New Growth Africa Ventures purchases the entire harvest at a pre-agreed price, giving farmers income certainty and eliminating the risks of selling on the open market.
What drives us
Our Shared Values
Organic Integrity
Every member commits to farming without synthetic chemicals. This is not just a certification requirement — it is the founding principle of the association.
Community Ownership
The association is built around the farmers themselves. Members have a voice in how the group operates, and the benefits flow directly to farming families.
Soil Health First
We invest in composting, cover cropping, and soil-building practices that improve the land over time — for the benefit of current and future generations of farmers.
Fair & Guaranteed Income
Guaranteed offtake prices mean farmers can plan their livelihoods with confidence, free from the volatility of commodity markets.
Traceability & Transparency
Every kilogram of ginger and turmeric is traceable to the individual farm. This transparency builds trust with international buyers and protects the association's organic reputation.
Continuous Learning
We invest in ongoing agronomic training and knowledge-sharing so that every member improves their farming skills and crop quality season after season.
