Since 2014, we have led the effort to stabilize & localize
the agriculture market in the Highlands of Ethiopia
through job creation & apple production.
“Ethiopia, the second-most-populous country in Africa, was importing almost all of its apples from South Africa, Europe, and the U.S., which made them a luxury good 11 months out of the year. That 12th month was when Ethiopian apple farms harvested their crop and had to sell them quickly and cheaply before they went bad.”
What We've Achieved
