Incofin Backs East African Food Enterprises to Boost Nutrition and Food Security

Incofin Investment Management, through the Nutritious Food Financing Facility (N3F) and in partnership with the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), has invested in three food companies in East Africa: Soy Afric in Kenya, and Mkuza Chicks and Rainbow Haulage in Tanzania, to boost nutrition and food security in the region.

Soy Afric: Fighting Hunger Across Borders

Kenya-based Soy Afric manufactures fortified flours and porridges designed for vulnerable populations in Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Its best-known product, Unimix, is widely used in school feeding programs, hospitals, and humanitarian relief efforts.Other products like Nutridense and Tender Mercies are tailored to provide low-income households with affordable, nutrient-rich food.

With a production capacity of up to 80 metric tons per day, Soy Afric works alongside international organizations such as USAID, the UN, and the Red Cross to deliver food aid and run nutrition programs.
These efforts are especially critical as nearly 36% of school-age children and adolescents in Kenya suffer from malnutrition, according to the African Population and Health Research Center.
