We process steamed and heat treated highly beans products as alternative protein targeting the low income population. Beans are naturally packed with protein, fiber and other essential micronutrients like iron, zinc, folate, magnesium and are low in fat. Despite consumers knowing that beans are good for health, they find them to be an unexciting food since they are perceived as a “poor man’s food” and that take a lot of effort to prepare and serve. It still takes 2-3hours to cook beans and using a lot of water -1kg of beans takes 5 liters of water to cook. Beans are also associated with flatulence by consumers. Our products address all this concerns by presenting whole beans that takes 15minutes to cook and producing modern products like snacks and instant enhanced with beans. We started the production at 200kgs per week and now our demand is 1500kgs per day. we have potential to produce 3000kgs per day and we supply of 150 retail outlets turning over USD 350,000 in FY2020.
