Innovative food companies reshaping food
systems in Ethiopia

Most of the food
consumed globally
is produced by
farmers and
supplied through
agricultural value
chains operated by
the private sector
That makes both large and small
agri-food businesses critical actors
in transforming the global
food system from farm to fork

Food systems transformation must happen in all
these four interlinked areas:
- Governance and strategy
- Environment
- Nutrition
- Social inclusion
- Farmer productivity & resilience (social inclusion)
- Availability, accessibility, and affordability of
healthy foods (nutrition)

Innovations
Against Poverty

Nutridense Agroprocessing PLC
Pioneering the popularisation of oats-based products
across Ethiopia

Being an unknown
business
opportunity for
farmers and agri-
dealers, there was
a shortage of
nutrient-rich oats
seeds in the
country

Nutridense is making
nutritious oatmeal
products available
where no one did
before by distributing
their products in
supermarkets, baltinas
and women-owned
coffee vendors in
Addis Ababa

Untapped opportunity
for more innovative
interventions from the
private sector to
transform food systems
in Ethiopia
