Fahad is an entrepreneur from Tanzania. He is making jobs and boosting income within his community. He is a co-founder of a cashew processing company called YYTZ Agro-Processing. His goal by creating this company was to bring international standards and traceability to the cashew nut. The company has a warehouse and distribution center in Toronto, Canada. The company recently raised a $500,000 investment which came from the Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund. This serves to establish another facility in south east Tanzania.
Fahad has an idea and has stuck to it. He has brought several jobs to the local farmers and the community which is beneficial for the people and the local economy. Fahad seems like a true entrepreneur and hefa wants his ideas to benefit the area he lives in. This company seems very promising in its efforts to connect internationally and as it continues to expand should continue to broaden to new lands.
I don’t know if I would ever be able to spot and opening in a market like Fahad has. The cashew industry is something that many of us often don’t think about but yet plays a roll in our lives. It is amazing to see someone with an eye for opportunity like Fahad has. I wonder if he is going to expand his idea into other industries or remain in the cashew industry?
From the very little that I know about this company and international markets. I appreciate what he is doing for his own companies economy and the employment of these farmers by providing structure and capitalizing on it to further countries and giving opportunity in different economic environments.
I love that he wasn’t focusing on just making money, but doing so through utilizing the people of the community to help. That in return helped the economy of the area. So incredible to hear people wanting to be redemptive. Love the post!
This is incredible to see someone who cares so much about his country and being able to bring back jobs to the people in need. Awesome post
