Food Security & Sustainability
Together we’re revolutionizing food’s value chain
to end food scarcity & poverty
Escaping the
Food Poverty Trap
Finding Food’s Equilibrium
Millers constantly struggle to hire the right number of workers and install just enough machines and generators to process an unknown quantity of farming feedstock.The calculation is a tough one because agricultural feedstock depends on multiple factors that are entirely beyond the miller’s control or ability to predict such as
- Weather
- Choice Of Crop
- Good or Bad Harvest
At Japtini Food & Retail, we take away the guesswork.
Our vast network of farmers means we can reliably supply enough feedstock to keep processors going at full capacity.
And with enhanced revenue from operating at full steam, our processing partners are able to quickly scale to much larger operations.
Economies of Scale
Unlike most providers of feedstock, we pay a fee for processing, or toll milling, rather than selling produce to the manufacturer.
This offers a massive advantage for millers by limiting the cost and risk of expanding capacity.
Rather than paying upfront for feedstock, the miller can instead focus energy and resources on ramping up machinery, power and workers.
Once processed, we pay the miller and take the food to the marketplace through our network of retailers and distributors.
Result: affordable food for all.

Taking advantage of vast unused capacity
Opportunity to add value in Africa’s food chain lies in freeing up the vast unused capacity that exists in mills and processors across the continent.
We enable all stakeholders – primary producers, manufacturers, consumers, investors – to take advantage of under-utilized production.
This includes processors to seize on their own unused capacity.
It does require a change of mindset. Processors must be prepared to earn lower margins for each individual consignment.
Five Ingredients for Food Security
The sweet spot for driving maximum value across Africa’s food chain lies in staple crops that can be stored for a year or more.
This includes wheat, maize, rice, soybeans and more.
Ginger and sesame seeds are examples of valuable crops for export.
After these “low-hanging fruits” in terms of impacting food security, we will apply our process next to more perishable items, such as tomatoes.
