Overview
Africa Eats is a Mauritius-based investment holding company that focuses on investing in and accelerating the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the food and agriculture sector across Sub-Saharan Africa. The company aims to enhance food security and boost incomes for smallholder farmers by minimizing post-harvest losses and increasing efficiency within value chains. Africa Eats operates in eight African countries: Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Malawi, Zambia, and Ghana.

The company has demonstrated significant growth, with a compound annual revenue growth rate of 52% between 2014 and 2023.
