About Company

Ponaa Briquettes is a social enterprise that operates an integrated business model that combines rice processing with briquette production, creating a circular economy that maximizes resource use. In our rice milling process, we produce quality rice while generating rice husks as a byproduct. Instead of letting these husks go to waste, they are repurposed, along with other agricultural residues like groundnut shells and corn cobs, to produce eco-friendly briquettes. This dual approach addresses the challenges of agricultural waste disposal and the demand for clean energy, ensuring that every step of our production process has a positive environmental and social impact. The integration supports local farmers, reduces waste, creates jobs, and contributes to the fight against deforestation by offering an alternative to wood fuel for cooking.
