Mr. Mluki’s trip began with a visit to the GreenTec Capital offices in Frankfurt where he had the opportunity to meet the GreenTec team and share some of his organic Tanzanian honey. The Frankfurt trip provided opportunities to plan and strategize on further business developments, as well as some investor meetings. One of Mr. Mluki’s objectives was to bring samples of his honey to potential buyers for testing, and the GreenTec team was happy to help with the taste tests. The Planet A forum was held on the at the Capitole Convention Center, Châlons-en-Champagne, on June 27-28 in France. Mr. Mluki was invited to participate in the “Initiatives and replicable solutions” panel and spoke about AfriLife’s work to promote sustainable forestry and apiculture practices and the potential for Tanzanian honey production. Mr. Mluki’s presentation was well received and generated some interesting potential partnership discussions. Mr. Mluki said “This was an amazing learning and networking opportunity.
