Aifa Foods is Ethiopia’s first women-led dried fruit company, transforming surplus fresh fruits into nutritious, climate-smart snacks. Founded in 2022, we tackle post-harvest loss, limited farmer market access, and youth unemployment. We work with 30+ smallholder farmers and employ 90% women in our production. Our Farmer Data Management System helps us forecast supply, ensure quality, and provide tailored support. We’ve secured the P4G Partnership with CARE Danmark, partnered with 20+ B2B clients, and launched a composting initiative to support regenerative farming. Our affordable products reach supermarkets, hotels, and soon, export markets. We also train farmers in post-harvest handling and plan to introduce decentralized solar drying tech. Winning the SAIS Female Founder Award will help expand capacity, diversify product lines, and deepen rural impact. At Aifa, we’re preserving livelihoods, building inclusive value chains, and nourishing the future with climate-smart innovation.
