About us

Yanda Africa is a youth-led agri-tech enterprise dedicated to transforming smallholder agriculture into a profitable, scalable, and sustainable venture. Based in Kenya, we work with rural-urban and peri-urban farmers who face high production costs, limited market access, and shrinking land sizes. Our approach combines digital tools, hands-on training, and regenerative farming practices to unlock better incomes for farmers.


Our Vision

To build a generation of agri-preneurs driving food security and economic growth in Africa.

Why choose us?

Real-World Profit Focus

Unlike most training programs, we help farmers track costs, forecast profits, and sell smarter — not just grow better.

Localized & Practical

We design our kits and trainings based on actual farm economics in Kenya’s urban and peri-urban zones.

Digital + On-Ground Support

From mobile tools to field visits, we meet farmers where they are — both physically and digitally.

Our Services

Agri-Profit Training Bootcamps

Hands-on sessions that teach farmers cost-saving techniques, farm planning, and direct market access strategies.

Crop-Specific Business Guides

Practical guides with costing, pricing, and growth tips for high-value crops like capsicum, sukuma wiki, and mushrooms.

Market Access Support

We connect farmers directly with buyers — including hotels, processors, and cooperatives — to improve sales and reduce losses.

Community Engagement

Ongoing support through WhatsApp and SMS keeps farmers informed, connected, and inspired long after training.

Youth & Women Empowerment Programs

Tailored mentorship and skills training to help young and female farmers scale from small plots to profitable agribusinesses.

Farmer Field Implementation

On-ground support to help farmers install income-boosting systems like multistory gardens, drip kits, and rabbit farming units.
