About the company

- Targets Africa’s £94B food import gap by strengthening local food systems and reducing post-harvest loss
- Operates as a potato outgrower facility supporting smallholder farmers, particularly women, with inputs, training & cold storage to improve productivity
- Plans to build climate-smart Agri-Hubs that generate jobs, with a strong focus on employing women, enabling inclusive rural growth
Their challenge
- Limited access to affordable capital despite strong market potential leading to slowed growth
- Constrained expansion due to high infrastructure costs required to scale the Agri-Hub model
- Reduced control, operational efficiency, and high working capital costs due to reliance on rented storage
