Problem
Our Innovation
Our shelf-life extension technology enables us to minimize variable cost — significantly contributed by post-harvest loss — and offer this cassava-based flour alternative to food businesses at a price that is competitive to that of wheat. We contribute to economic prosperity in Africa by substituting imported wheat — that has become scarce due to supply chain disruptions triggered by conflict — with this indigenous alternative.
Before launching the flour product, we initially launched a specialty category, cassava powder. This superfood can be reconstructed with water to make fufu — a staple African cuisine, which we sell as a consumer product. By adding value to cassava through this innovative product, we ensure that local farmers get real value for their crops.
