Twiga Foods

Twiga Foods is a leading Kenyan agritech company transforming the food supply chain in East Africa. Founded in 2014 by Grant Brooke and Peter Njonjo, Twiga Foods leverages technology, logistics, and finance to connect smallholder farmers with urban retailers, creating a more efficient, transparent, and inclusive food distribution system.

The company’s business-to-business model aggregates fresh produce from farmers and delivers it directly to retailers, including kiosks, shops, and restaurants, bypassing traditional middlemen. This approach ensures farmers receive fair prices for their produce while urban vendors access affordable, high-quality food consistently. Over time, Twiga has expanded its offerings to include dairy, eggs, and staple foods, further strengthening its role in Kenya’s food ecosystem.

Central to Twiga’s operations is its innovative use of mobile technology, enabling real-time inventory management, data-driven logistics, and seamless mobile payments. These solutions not only improve operational efficiency but also enhance financial inclusion for smallholder farmers and vendors.

Twiga Foods also emphasizes capacity building and empowerment, providing farmers with training, access to inputs, and reliable payment systems. This commitment has contributed to improving livelihoods, reducing food waste, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices across Kenya.

With a focus on innovation, social impact, and scalability, Twiga Foods has attracted investment from leading global impact funds and investors, positioning it as a model for modernizing African food supply chains. By bridging the gap between rural producers and urban markets, Twiga continues to drive economic growth, improve food security, and transform the lives of thousands of smallholder farmers and retailers across the region.
