Tropical Lush
Student Leaders: Oluwagbenga Sadik, Marilia Ramos
Seeding the Future Foundation sponsored two students, ‘Gbenga Sadik and Marilia Ramos, to spend their summer internships in Nairobi, Kenya working with Partners in Food Solutions, a local non-profit that seeks to support food entrepreneurs and businesses. The students worked with Tropical Lush, a beverage company in Nairobi with a special value proposition of making a wide variety of fresh, natural fruit juices without additives or concentrates.
They executed two projects aimed at improving Tropical Lush’s business:
1) Developed a costing model that helps the company determine the unit cost of each of their juice products
2) Developed a nutrient profile for all the company’s juice products to help implement a nutrition-focused marketing strategy.
