Company correspondence from 2025; reviewed November 3, 2026
In a September 10, 2025 email, TCG, representing ECOFITEXT, described partnerships with farmers, training women to extract banana-stem fiber and returning residual material to farmers as fertilizer. An undated company pitch deck reviewed on November 3, 2026 names Oscar Ndayisenga as founder and TCG as a strategic-development partner. It describes supplying fiber to other manufacturers for applications including textiles, paper and household products; it does not establish that ECOFITEXT sells finished fabric or garments. These are company-reported activities.
The pitch deck lists a 5 kg starter pack, but current availability and prices need reconfirmation.
