Pongamia trees offer the most sustainable source of culinary oil and plant protein on earth. We partner with growers to cultivate thousands of acres of pongamia tree plantings in Florida, Hawaii and Australia and wild harvest beans from smallholders in India. Our traceable supply chains turn sustainably grown pongamia beans into nutritious plant-based food ingredients.
US agtech firm Terviva has raised $54 million in funding, which it will use to commercialise its ingredients. Terviva partners with Danone to scale pongamia oil and plant protein as alternative to palm and soy. Terviva has raised US$54 million in equity capital to commercialize its "golden-colored, buttery" culinary oil.

Our culinary oil and protein are produced from the beans of the pongamia tree, which is a sustainably grown tree crop with a history in Eastern medicine and reforestation.
