40-50% of Kenya's Mango Harvest
is Wasted Every Year
In Kitui County alone, 40,000-100,000 tonnes of mangoes rot annually—representing $6-15 million in lost farmer income.
Existing processing capacity handles less than 1% of this waste.
We're changing that.
The Problem: Post-Harvest Waste Crisis
The numbers don't lie—massive food loss is destroying farmer livelihoods and wasting precious resources.
