Twiga Foods is a Kenyan agritech company founded in 2014 that is transforming the food supply chain in East Africa. It leverages mobile technology to directly connect smallholder farmers with urban retailers, removing expensive and inefficient middlemen. Through its digital platform, Twiga allows farmers to sell their produce at fair prices and access broader markets. Retailers benefit from fresh produce delivered quickly and at competitive prices. Twiga addresses the logistical challenges of the agricultural sector by building an integrated distribution system combining warehouses, delivery vehicles, and mobile payment solutions.
This initiative has a strong social impact, improving farmer incomes while enhancing urban food security. Twiga exemplifies how technological innovation can reshape African food systems, making the value chain more efficient, transparent, and inclusive. Today, it works with thousands of farmers and aims to expand to other African countries.
