We were delighted to have Nikita Eriksen-Hamel visit our FEGGE project in Tanzania. Helping agricultural businesses like Africa Joy to grow is critical for creating jobs and increasing the incomes of the farmers in the value chain.
I had a great visit with the ‘missing middle’ in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. Canada is investing in the FEGGE project by MEDA (Mennonite Economic Development Associates) who is supporting women-owned emerging agri-SMEs. These businesses are not only creating decently paid jobs (5-10 jobs per SME) but also investing in the 100+ farmers who supply them with agrifood product.
