ZOE Rohi (Benin) produces pinappel juice and dried fruits
“Estelle, the owner, is a visionary entrepreneur focused on high-quality products produced through environmentally friendly processes. Her dedication and drive make this project highly promising.”
ZOE Rohi produces premium pineapple juice and dried fruits with a strong commitment to sustainability and quality.
The company follows eco-friendly production methods, including the use of renewable energy, waste recycling, and fostering an inclusive and fair workplace. This approach ensures compliance with the highest ESG standards, driving sustainable growth and positive impact on people and the environment.
Demand for healthy, natural juices and dried fruits is soaring, but ZOE Rohi currently cannot meet this demand due to limited production capacity. Located right in the heart of pineapple plantations, ZOE Rohi holds a unique advantage over competitors—many of whom outsource their production to her because of her direct access to fresh raw materials. Sales are rapidly increasing, attracting health-conscious customers as well as new private distributors and small retailers. The Benin government actively supports sustainable systems, positioning ZOE Rohi perfectly for accelerated growth.
Market leader with direct access to raw materials: Prime location within pineapple plantations
- Expanding customer base:From small shops to large corporate clients ready to place orders
- Sustainability at its core:Renewable energy use, waste recycling, and social inclusion
- Government support: Benin promotes sustainable agriculture and production
To scale up production, the company plans to invest in:
- Tunnel dryer expansion: faster, more efficient fruit drying
- Digestor upgrade to 100m3: increased waste recycling and biogas production for energy, reducing costs and boosting output
The loan request is 50.000€, the company’s own contribution is 25.000€
These investments will be rolled out in two stages over five years, ensuring ZOE Rohi can meet growing demand while maintaining sustainable operations.
"Before OVO, my business faced many challenges: planning, access to equipment, unmet high demand, high costs, and financing difficulties… Growth was being held back.
Thanks to OVO’s personalized coaching, I learned to plan long-term, optimize my costs, write a strong business plan, and most importantly, to believe in my project.
The OVO investment committee awarded me the ‘Ready for Change’ label and granted me a loan, which now allows me to invest and scale up.
This program is much more than financing: it’s strategic support to accelerate your business, create value, and generate jobs.
Today, I’m proud to be an OVO ambassador in Benin, and I highly recommend this Boost Camp to all Beninese entrepreneurs who want to make a difference!"
