Who We Are

We create opportunities across Africa with tools and services to efficiently process, save, and sell more food.

Life-Changing Postharvest Solutions

Based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota with offices in Nairobi, Kenya and Lilongwe, Malawi, we partner with the African private sector to provide smallholder farmers and rural entrepreneurs a portfolio of programs and support services so they can process and preserve more food. We focus on developing solutions that fit the needs of the people that will be using them, in order to achieve a greater impact, with long-lasting positive effects for future generations of Africans.
