Incofin Investment Management has announced two new investments, totaling $1.55 million, through its Nutritious Foods Financing Facility (N3F).
One of the investments is in Truk Rwanda, a logistics company providing cold chain storage and transport for fresh fruits and vegetables. N3F’s investment enables the purchase of refrigerated trucks and the setting up of hybrid cold rooms. This allows farmers to extend the shelf life of their produce, maximising income and reducing food waste. Truk Rwanda also connects farmers in central Rwanda with vendors. It offers them informal training on post-harvest handling to effectively preserve the nutritional value of products.
Another investment is in Couvoir Amar, a company operating in Senegal’s poultry sector. By increasing domestic production, Couvoir Amar aims to make poultry more affordable for lower-income groups. It encourages intake of nutritious protein through poultry consumption, which in Senegal remains among the lowest in the world.
