Despite over ¾ of Africans being farmers or children of farmers, not every African is able to eat three meals per day. Most of that is due to post-harvest losses, with up to ⅓ of the grain and almost ½ of all the fruit and vegetables grown never making it to a plate to eat.
Because of the post-harvest losses, Africa spends tens of billions of dollars per year importing food. Ending this downward spiral of mounting debt ends when Africa is a net exporter of food.
There is far too much friction in funding the existing, homegrown, for-profit solutions to hunger and poverty too often ignored by financial institutions. Not just initial funding, but growth-stage funding and critical financial services.
A solution for all these issues is Africa Eats, a holding company with a diverse set of African food/ag companies supporting hundreds of thousands of smallholder farmers, feeding millions of Africans.
Africa Eats does not try solving this problem from scratch, but instead begins with two dozen fledglings (graduates) of Fledge, the global network of conscious company accelerators. Dozens of young, for-profit, growing companies chosen from thousands as most likely to succeed, with impact embedded in their product or service, and who have all received two months of intense training, capital, and follow-on support. Companies which in 2022 earned over $24 million in aggregate revenues and which worked directly with over 100,000 smallholder farmers.

Livestock Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paniel Meat Processing (PMP) has officially opened it’s new chicken hatchery, chicken houses, and chicken processing facility. The largest of its kind in Rwanda.
PMP is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elite Meat, which Africa Eats helped to list on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius late last year.
African stock exchanges are notoriously illiquid. It is not uncommon on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius for 1/3rd of the companies to have no trades at all. Which is why Tuesday Markets was created, to create liquidity in African markets, starting with registering as a market maker for EATS, ELIT and ZWTO. And that effort is working. Below is an article from a Mauritian business magazine talking...
In terms of global population, Africa is by far the fastest growing region. 1.4 billion people today, expected to grow past 2 billion in next 20 years. Those huge numbers are hard to grasp. They boil down to 2.5 million more people living in Africa… each month. 2.5 million more people who need to eat… every day. 5 million every two months. 10 million every four months. 30 million more...
It took 14 months to list Africa Eats, Elite Meat, and Ziweto on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius. But now, when you walk into the stock exchange office, you can watch the live prices scrolling on the ticker.
On the todo list is to help bring more investors to this market so that there are fewer 0.00% changes each day.

Africa Eats is now old enough to to benchmark our share price. We invest in young, fast-growing companies, so a good comparison would be the private equity (PE) and venture capital (VC) funds. But Africa Eats is now publicly listed (and liquid) and thus another good comparison is the public stock indecies. McKinsey recently published a report on “Global Private Markets” with returns...

Africa Eats was publicly listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius back in December, 2024. The launch went well, and the share price is up 11.1% since then, with the share price pausing at $2.50 due to a quick private placement that closed last week.
Shares are available every weekday on the stock exchange using the tuesday.africa app.
The 2025 Africa Eats’ Annual “Gathering” is where all of the bizi founders flew to Nairobi, met by 50 guests for three days of facilitated discussions. This was our first gathering as a public company, and with that, this year’s event copied more of the style of Berkshire Hathaway’s famous annual shareholder gathering. Building off of the unique business model of...
