Building decentralized food infrastructure that increases farmer income at scale
Smallholder farmers grow crops, but most of the value is captured after the harvest. Processing happens far from where food is grown, middlemen extract margins, and rural communities remain locked in low-income production. The missing piece is infrastructure. Without local processing, farmers sell raw commodities. With processing, they sell value-added products. MAMLO exists to close this gap.
To increase the incomes of 100,000 rural farmers by 30% per season by 2036
Our model
MAMLO builds proximate micro-factories inside farming communities and connects them through a shared coordination system.
Local processing → reduces post-harvest loss → increases product value → creates reliable demand → stabilizes farmer income
MAMLO operates factories in the early stages, trains local teams, and transfers operations to the community.
Each factory becomes a locally run enterprise that keeps profits and jobs in the village.
CORE, MAMLO'S digital infrastructure, coordinates supply, quality, and logistics across the network, making the model repeatable and scalable.
Theory of change
When farming communities process crops locally and own connected micro-factories linked to real markets, farmers capture more value per harvest and incomes rise at scale.
