Mojo is a carbonated soft drink with a cola flavor manufactured by the Akij Food and Beverage Limited (AFBL).[1]
History
[edit]The brand was launched in April 2006 by Akij Group's sister project Akij Food & Beverage Limited (AFBL).[2][3] Mojo manufactures and distributes not only domestically but also exports and distributes abroad. Mojo is exported to 47 countries around the world.[4][5]
After the 2023 Israel–Hamas war, many Muslims in Bangladesh began boycotting the products of various companies, including Coca-Cola, due to its affiliations with the state of Israel. During the same period, Mojo showed support for Palestine by creating a donation project where every ৳1 BDT (approximately $0.0084 USD) would go to the Palestine donation fund. This led to a significant rise in their sales, marking the highest in their history, as they faced product shortages due to the high demand. Meanwhile, Coca-Cola's sales in Bangladesh decreased by 60 percent.[6]
On 2 January 2024, Sheikh Shamim Uddin, chairman of Akij Group, presented a cheque of 50 lac taka or $41,821 USD to the Palestinian ambassador.[7] Through the World Food Program (WFP), Akij Welfare Trust and Mojo have donated Tk 61,750,000 or $516,493 USD to Gaza and Tk 15,000,000 to Palestine Embassy as of June 2024.[8]
