MAMLO FOODS is a purpose-driven social enterprise dedicated to transforming the peanut value chain in Africa through sustainable, community-centered solutions.
our mission centers around the micro-factory model, a groundbreaking approach that transforms the peanut value chain while empowering marginalized women smallholder farmers in Africa.
By establishing these micro-factories within communities, we create a sustainable business that not only enhances local economies but also strengthens the social fabric of rural areas.
THE MICRO-FACTORY MODEL: A COMMUNITY-CENTRIC INNOVATION
Our micro-factories are solar-powered and container-based, designed to bring the processing of peanuts directly to the source.
Each facility operates at the heart of peanut-growing regions, allowing for the production of high-value products. This local processing reduces food waste and increases the profitability of farmers by eliminating middlemen in the supply chain.
MAMLO Foods establishes and manages the day-to-day operations of these micro-factories, ensuring consistent quality and efficiency in production.
By directly overseeing the operations, we maintain high standards, provide training, and implement quality control measures that ensure our products meet market demands. This operational management also allows us to share best practices and innovations with community members, fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
EMPOWERING WOMEN THROUGH CO-OWNERSHIP
The micro-factory model is co-owned by MAMLO Foods and local cooperatives, predominantly comprising of marginalized women farmers. This shared ownership ensures that community members have a stake in their economic future and actively participate in decision-making processes. By working together, we are building a stronger, more resilient community that takes pride in its products and achievements.
MAMLO Foods provides essential resources, including quality seeds and training in good agricultural practices, enabling farmers to grow high-quality peanuts for processing. This commitment to capacity building not only enhances crop yields but also empowers women to take charge of their livelihoods, contributing to greater gender equality in agriculture.
