Across Africa, millions of  rural farmers grow peanuts and other protein crops — many of them women.

But
Processing is distant. 
Buyers are inconsistent. 
Post-harvest losses are high. 
Food safety is fragile. 
And most of the value leaves rural communities.

The result:
• Farmers sell cheaply and irregularly
• Unsafe protein circulates in local markets
• Communities miss out on processing jobs
• Protein remains scarce and expensive

This is not a farming problem.
It is an infrastructure problem.
