FAYUS INC

FAYUS INC is the distributor of choice for well-respected outlets that sell indigenous African and Caribbean products in the United States. The Ola-Ola brand of products, exclusively processed and manufactured at the company’s Sacramento plant, provides a wide selection of African gourmet flour such as: Pounded yam flour, plantain fufu flour, cassava flour (lafun/konkote), cassava starch, bean flour, rice flour, corn meal (ishima/ugali), cassava fufu (akpu), elubo/amala (yam flour). Other brand products include the Ola-Ola Carotino cooking oil and the Ola-Ola cholesterol-free red palm oil.
Fayus Inc., parent company of Yusol International Foods, was established in 1992 and has dedicated its services to promoting African foods in the U.S. and beyond. The company’s activities began in earnest in 1993, when it was the first to air cargo food products from Nigeria to the United States for commercial distribution. This initial shipment was all it took in establishing working relationships with small and medium enterprises in Nigeria.
Fayus Inc.’s investment in Africa began with $1,000 and grew to as much as $125,000 in the 1990’s, made with mainly small and medium companies in Nigeria, Ghana and Ivory Coast. FAYUS Inc. continues to invest in reliable partners who are trustworthy, dependable, and willing to conform to good manufacturing processes, as prescribed by international standards. These investments in Africa have resulted in millions of dollars in revenue, created more middle class jobs among African partners, and ensured jobs to numbers of unemployed graduates. Fayus Inc. is currently looking for reliable partners in other parts of the Sub-Sahara countries mainly from the East and South of the continent.

TransFarm Africa

The TransFarm Africa Initiative is a new initiative of Aspen Global Health and Development that will function as the hub of an international policy network made up of civil society and business organizations and others working on agriculture and trade policy and their links to Africa’s development and food security. Taking as a framework, Africa’s “Development Corridors”—trade and transport routes that hold the potential to connect Africa’s landlocked countries into regional and international markets—TransFarm Africa works to advance equitable and sustainable smallholder commercial agriculture in ways that will measurably improve the income of smallholder farmers, particularly women, and integrate them into a dynamic, internationally competitive, regional food economy. Building on the Development Corridors framework, TFA combines investment and policy in an innovative approach to the “missing middle” of African agriculture—growth-oriented, mid-scale commercial farms and agribusinesses that incorporate small farmers as suppliers, customers, partners or employees—TransFarm Africa seeks to facilitate the emergence of transformative forms of commercial agriculture while working to improve the policies and overcome the barriers that have held back Africa’s agricultural development in the past. With the right support, the target for TFA’s interventions—middle-market businesses with a proven management team, basic corporate-governance capabilities, and a growth-oriented business plan that integrates small farmers—could become a primary engine for the emergence of food and agriculture as Africa’s new source of economic dynamism over the next decade.
