The Opportunity is Africa Eats
The food system is already far from ideal, with (at least) 40% of that food never being eaten due to post-harvest losses (Rockefeller Foundation studies). Pre-pandemic, there was far too much friction in the early-stage financial markets to fund the food/ag supply chain. Now, these food companies are essential services and the only chance to prevent widespread hunger. A solution for all these issues is Africa Eats, a holding company with a diverse set of African food/ag companies supporting hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers, feeding millions of Africans.
