AACE FOODS and FARMERS
AACE Foods has partnered with key international development agencies since 2010 to develop a local supply chain sourcing produce from over 10,000 farmers. It is a member of the 2-SCALE Network. We train, facilitate micro-finance and provide farmer clusters with storage technology.
