About Terviva:

Founded in 2010, Terviva is a food and ag innovation company partnering with communities and farmers to harvest and grow Pongamia, also known as Karanja. Pongamia is a climate-resilient tree which produces abundant, protein- and oil-rich legumes. It sequesters carbon, improves soil health and water quality while growing on land where other crops can’t grow. This helps to avoid deforestation and revitalize agricultural lands and communities around the world.

Terviva has a complex and exciting product portfolio that includes biofuel feedstocks, high-quality edible oils and proteins and bioactives. Our equitable practices ensure a positive impact across the supply chain, while our ability to integrate into existing infrastructure accelerates the transition to more sustainable crops. We are actively selling both the oil and the meal from the beans of the Pongamia tree.
