Kigali Farms is a social enterprise. It is a for-profit enterprise with a social purpose. Our customer is the Rwandan farmer and the Rwandan consumer. When all is said and done, the customer decides whether our product meets their need, and whether our vision is sustainable. The company was formally founded in September 2010, to turn this vision into reality. We have become the largest suppliers of oyster mushroom substrate in Rwanda. We are also the largest supplier of fresh mushrooms in Rwanda, thanks to our mushroom buy-back commitment to our substrate customers.
We envision mushrooms as the most cost-effective source of protein for anyone in Rwanda, one that will provide many Rwandans with opportunities of livelihood earn a new income and a healthier diet, simultaneously tackling food insecurity and malnutrition.
Kigali Farms works to help fight chronic malnutrition by providing the foundation of a sound mushroom industry, allowing mushrooms to become a meaningful part of the Rwandan diet.
