About
East Africa Foods (EAF) works directly with 6,000+ smallholder farmers in Tanzania. EAF aggregates demand and delivers a wide range of fresh and exotic produce directly from farms to retailers, wholesalers, local vendors, restaurants and exporters. Their business model addresses several barriers that contribute to post-harvest losses: long distances between harvest and distribution points, the lack of storage facilities, and poor transportation.
Project Focus
Shell Foundation has provided a grant to East Africa Foods to pilot the use of off-grid cold storage facilities in rural areas to reach rural farmers and to enable EAF to manage the quality of produce more.
