Releaf
Industrialising food processing in Africa
How does it work?
Releaf is a supply chain technology company that helps Fast Moving Consumer Goods Companies (FMCGs) in Africa get high quality inputs cheaper by localising food processing technology in farming clusters to increase quality, reduce logistic costs, and create more value for farmers, primary processors & FMCGs.
Why is it needed?
Starting with Nigeria's palm oil industry, home to over 4 million smallholder farmers with one significant problem – access to efficient processing systems.
How does it improve life?
Releaf helps these farmers produce high-quality vegetable oil at a fraction of the time, using our proprietary hardware, Kraken.
