Agricycle Global

Agricycle is a house of ethical brands using a systems-based zero waste approach to international development. Agricycle transforms food waste and agricultural byproducts across the world into all-natural and organic CPG brands sold in the U.S. Agricycle is in the inaugural cohort of Target Incubator in Minneapolis and has a network of 11,000 rural farmers with three brands: Blue Mangoes, Fruit Flour, and Tropical Grilling. In rural communities across the Global South, fruit is naturally abundant and overproduced. There is no effective infrastructure or technology locally available to preserve this abundance. Agricycle designs, manufactures and sells low-barrier technologies to rural farmers and teaches them how to have zero waste. Agricycle buys the products created using their technology and builds on-trend brands focused on storytelling, natural foods, sustainability and transparency. Each brand uses the byproducts of others, and local products and industries are created with what cannot be exported. This maximizes margins because each brand uses the same supply chain and very similar production process.
