WHO WE ARE
Wandi Foods is a Kenyan social enterprise transforming Africa’s abundant harvests into premium, sustainable food ingredients. Operating under Joy Boost Kenya Ltd, we source surplus crops from smallholder farmers and turn them into high-value pulses and upcycled flours for global markets. Our mission is simple yet ambitious — to turn food waste into opportunity. By reimagining how food systems work, we empower rural farmers, reduce environmental impact, and supply manufacturers with clean-label, affordable ingredients that care for health, quality, and the planet.
We see value where others see waste.
Our purpose is to upcycle Africa’s harvest gluts into premium, traceable ingredients that nourish people, reward farmers, and protect the planet.
Guided by innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity, we reimagine the future of food, one that is circular, transparent, and globally connected.
Every ton we upcycle replaces waste with value, delivering healthier, more functional ingredients to manufacturers worldwide.
Our Model
At Wandi Foods, we transform surplus harvests into premium ingredients through a simple, yet powerful model. Every step is designed to deliver quality, sustainability, and impact.
Bridging Worlds
In East Africa, highly nutritious, naturally organic, non-GMO, premium harvests often go to waste due to gluts and fragmented market systems. At the same time, ingredient manufacturers around the world are under growing pressure from customers and governments to source ethically, sustainably, and transparently. Wandi Foods connects these two worlds—turning surplus crops into traceable, high-quality ingredients that deliver impact, value, and pride to buyers globally.
Appropriate Tech
Wandi Foods connects farmers and global buyers through innovative, farmer-friendly technology. Our systems allow farmers to provide feedback, receive prompt payments, and trace their ingredients from their hands to our processing factories. Meanwhile, manufacturers can trace every ingredient back to its origin, complete with the story behind it. Built for today but ready for IoT and blockchain, our tech ensures transparency, efficiency, and a truly connected supply chain that delivers both impact and confidence.
Our Impact
At Wandi Foods, impact isn’t a by-product, it’s the purpose. Every ton we process transforms waste into value, empowers farmers, and helps global brands meet their ESG and sustainability goals. From farm to formula, our traceable ingredients drive profit with purpose: measurable, transparent, and real.
