I prefer to buy my food at an open mama mboga market located at Nairobi West near where I live because it is more pleasant to do so than going to an air-conditioned grocery store.
It is from this market and from a conversation with a market vendor there that I first heard of the operations of the fresh food aggregator Twiga Foods — the start-up that has been winning international accolades for implementing a highly successful and fintech-enabled food supply chain that connects rural farmers to street vendors in the urban areas of Kenya.
