Smallholder farmers in Zimbabwe face significant post-harvest losses—up to 30–40% of grain is lost due to inefficient shelling, poor grading, and lack of proper packaging. These losses directly impact food security, farmer income, and community resilience.
Foodwealth Investments addresses these challenges by providing diesel-powered shelling, quality grading, and market-ready packaging services—bringing efficient, affordable post-harvest solutions directly to rural communities. These services reduce waste, improve grain quality, increase market value, and ultimately strengthen the entire agricultural value chain.
Without these services, farmers risk losing both food and income. With them, they gain the tools to thrive, compete, and grow.
