πŸ‘©β€πŸŒΎ 1. Value Addition for Farmers


Kenyan farmers grow plenty of mangoes, bananas, pawpaws, coconuts, and pineapples. But when markets flood during harvest, prices drop and fruits go to waste.


Drying fruits turns this challenge into opportunity:


Farmers earn more by selling to processors instead of middlemen.


Waste is reduced, since surplus fruits get preserved.


New markets open up locally and internationally.

🏭 2. Processing & Job Creation


Dried fruit production isn’t just about the farms. It creates jobs in:


Sorting and grading 🍍


Drying and packaging 🏷️


Marketing, sales, and logistics 🚚



Every Krispbites pack supports a chain of workers β€” from farms to shelves.
