in Kenya in 2014, Twiga Foods is replacing
informal markets by giving vendors
simple, convenient ordering platforms
to purchase their stock, and providing
farmers with fair, predictable pricing
for their crops. As a result, farmers can
count on a steady stream of income,
empowering them to grow their business.
"I feel like Twiga is invested in helping
me succeed. With the brokers (pre-Twiga)
the price was low, and they would just
take the produce and go. Twiga knows
that if they help me do better, they do
better. We're going to grow together,"
said Jane Mbogo (left), a farmer who
uses Twiga's tech-enabled platform.
"As I move up the ladder,
my dream is to start my own
company. I'm getting all
the experience I need to be
successful in the future right
here at Twiga."
