EA Foods Limited (“EAF”) is a food aggregator business that sources, packages, brands, and distributes fresh (bananas, potatoes, onions) and dried produce (rice, beans). The company operates at farm level, collecting produce via its own trucks or at collection centres. EAF purchases up to the entire production from smallholder farmers and pays them on the spot through mobile money. After collection, the produce is transported to distribution centers in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, from where it is distributed to clients, which mainly consist of street vendors, wholesalers, supermarkets, shops and hotels.

EAF has built strong relationships with farmer groups and currently has an outreach of 7,000 smallholder farmers.
