NutriFood Tech

Environmentally and socially responsible production of nutritious milk products
SEED Starter Team Green Technologies Kampala, Uganda

NutriFood Tech is a social enterprise in Uganda at the forefront of nutrition-sensitive food processing. It is currently pioneering the production of probiotic fermented foods, mainly yoghurt, in communities around Uganda. NutriFood Tech runs and operates four yoghurt processing factories with a weekly combined volume of over 5,000 litres. 

It does so through training, market development and youth and women engagement to produce highly nutritious yoghurts on a small scale. These groups also receive equity shares in the processing factories, thereby benefiting economically from employment and ownership. 

Eco-Inclusive Impacts
Empowering local women and youth through low carbon milk processing.
  • Reducing carbon emissions by using biogas plants for milk pasteurisation and processing. 
  • Striving for low-waste production by using cattle waste for fuelling biogas plants. 
  • Creation of more than 75 jobs along the value chain, including full-time employment for over 35 youth and women.
  • Building markets for locally produced milk and enabling over 50 farmers.
  • Establishing a sustainable income for youth and women in rural communities.
  • Reducing employment and pay gaps for women and youth, with a goal of raising income from USD 5 to USD 12.
