Feeding Africa
Feeding Africa with local, affordable products
Creating Impact Through Access, Employment, and Local Value
Africa remains highly dependent on imported food staples such as wheat. In the context of rising global prices, this dependency undermines food security and limits access to essential products for millions of households.
Our response: we offer a local, affordable, and nutritious alternative with our non-fermented cassava flour, sold at $1/kg, highly competitive with imported flours. Grown and processed locally, our product contributes to import substitution while adding value to a vital African crop. Although our international presence is still growing, our model is built around a dual-market strategy: gradually increasing export margins to help sustain local affordability. Long-term, we aim to maintain 85% of our sales in Africa, with only 15% exported, to ensure continued access to quality food for local consumers.
JK Agrofarms
Local industrialization and skilled job creation
Much of Africa’s agricultural production is exported raw, limiting local economic value and stifling opportunities for job creation in processing and manufacturing.
At JK Agrofarms, we’ve taken a different approach: we transform our own crops locally, in a factory located directly on our farm and equipped with modern, efficient tools like a flash dryer. This setup gives us full control over the value chain—from soil to shelf.
Since launching in 2022, our operations have created 27 permanent jobs and supported over 70 temporary workers, mostly in rural areas. As we scale, we aim to generate hundreds of direct and indirect jobs, with a strong focus on hiring youth and women. We’re also building technical skills within our workforce—laying the groundwork for a more industrial and self-reliant agricultural sector in Africa.
By placing local impact at the heart of our model, we’re proving that African agribusiness can be competitive, inclusive, and transformative.
