A Ugandan entrepreneur aims to conquer the local market and expand globally with her hibiscus-based drinks.
Eleven years ago Regina Nakayenga established Rena Beverage Solutions at the age of 50 as a part of her retirement plan.
Nakayenga stumbled upon the hibiscus plant on the recommendation of a friend, who explained its medicinal qualities. Having experienced the benefits of the hibiscus herself, the forward-thinking entrepreneur set about experimenting with the plant that is found in Uganda.
Nakayenga has also set her sights on the international market with plans to export her health-first products to Germany and the UK by the end of 2021.
