Summary

Yak Fair Trade Ltd is a Rwandan agribusiness trade and livestock business (established in 2010) providing affordable and nutritious products (grains, meat and meat products), based in the Rwamagana district of the country’s Eastern Province. YAK sources indirectly from over 65,000 Rwandan small holder farmers through 52 cooperatives and processes them for sale to larger food processing companies.

One of YAK’s main clients is African Improved Foods (AIF), a public-private partnership involving DSM, Government of Rwanda, IFC, CDC Group and FMO, which locally produces highly nutritious foods for infants as well as pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.

Yak Fair Trade Ltd was founded by Janvier Gasasira and Mediatrice Uwingabire in 2010, initially focused on staple food value chain development including the processing and distribution of grains and wide variety beans and in 2010 expanded its offering to include dairy value chain development. YAK also owns shops in Kimironko Gasabo, Muhanga and Rwamagna districts for crop production.

Historically, YAK has purchased a minimum of 60% of its products from small holders farmers (via cooperatives) and hopes to increase the percentage of purchases from SHF through improved trade finance and capacity development of the farmers.

Učinek

Podjetje YAK Fair Trade si prizadeva izboljšati ruandski kmetijski sektor, ki zaposluje dve tretjini delovne sile v državi. Največji izziv sektorja je premagati omejen dostop do visokokakovostnih proizvodov. YAK usposablja male kmete o najboljših praksah in tehnologijah po spravilu pridelka, da bi se izognili izgubi proizvodnje. Več okoljsko trajnostnih kmetijskih praks lahko poveča kmetijske pridelke in pomaga kmetom, da postanejo bolj dobičkonosni. Podjetje YAK pridobiva proizvode od več kot 65 000 lokalnih malih kmetov prek 52 zadrug in jih predeluje za prodajo večjim živilskopredelovalnim podjetjem. Presežke proda drugim institucijam, kot sta Svetovni program za hrano in UNHCR. To široko sodelovanje koristi preživetju na podeželju, dohodku gospodinjstev in zanesljivi preskrbi s hrano.
