Four out of five Tanzanians live in rural areas and most of them are involved in inefficient, low yielding, low quality small holding agriculture. The produce, if not consumed by the farmer herself, is sold to a chain of middlemen reselling the unprocessed crop until it’s exported to low paying markets. Example: Tanzania export raw cashew for 1,0 USD/kg while processed cashew would give the country 9 USD/kg. Amama Farms Limited is created to change the above by working together with farmers utilizing state of the art know how to help farmers increase yields and quality and get indirect access to a stable export market making financing easier and the future more predictable. The AMAMA business concept is built around, and together with, small holders and cooperatives on one side and retail brand owners in Northern Europe on the other side. AMAMA will: • Build local processing factories adhering to global standards and export processed and consumer packed nuts, dried fruits, sesame and spices directly from rural Tanzania to brand owners in Northern Europe, bypassing middlemen and giving rural farmers in Tanzania access to the European market. • Inspire farmers and local government to engage in more productive farming and processing practices. The Directors of Amama Farms share knowledge and networks and together possess a significant local network and business experience.
