Gaea Foods, a women-led SME, is a pioneer in the Kenyan potato processing industry. Founded in 2010, the company supplies freshly-cut potatoes to restaurants and catering institutions across the country. Initially, the SME struggled with customer acquisition, and slow growth, due to factors like low brand awareness and a lack of a comprehensive business plan. These issues hindered their ability to attract investors and expand their recycling operations. KIEP 250 has helped Gaea Foods improve its revenue and streamline operations by providing support in areas such as developing a business plan, adopting an outgrower model, and implementing sustainable waste management practices through Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming. Black Soldier Fly (BSF) farming offers significant environmental benefits. The larvae consume large amounts of organic waste, reducing the need for landfills and decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, frass, a byproduct of BSF farming, is a nutrient-rich organic fertiliser that improves soil health and crop yields. Furthermore, frass can be used as a valuable component in animal feed, enhancing livestock nutrition. By implementing BSF farming, Gaea Foods is not just addressing waste management issues but also creating a sustainable cycle of waste utilisation. This contributes to environmental conservation while generating additional income streams. Gaea Foods' strategic focus on sustainable practices and market expansion is certainly positioning the company for growth. Thanks to the support received from KIEP 250 , the SME is well-equipped to overcome challenges, capitalise on opportunities, and contribute to the development of the Kenyan agricultural sector. We wish them the very best in their future endeavours. Huge thanks to the KIEP 250 Business Advisors and Business Development Service Providers for their instrumental role in Gaea's transformative journey. #KIEP250PlusSuccessStories #KIEP250PlusSMEs #KIEP250Plus #KenyanSMEs #KenyanBusiness
