What We Do
We
are a food storage, drying, and distribution company that sources
products from smallholder farmers, whom we support during the season
with input loans and training, so that they can be more productive. We
transform the farmers' produce into standardized, graded products that
we sell across the country, to buyers who can be sure of the quality
they receive. In five years of operations, we have worked with just
about 1000 farmers, across almost over 300 hectares of land.

another agribusiness or brewery, and is keen to work in a non scripted,
