Guaro Farms, founded by Kidist Amedie, is an innovative enterprise based in Ethiopia that revolutionizes the processing of spices and herbs directly at the farm gate. This initiative seeks to mitigate post-harvest losses, which commonly range from 25% to 30%, by introducing compact, localized processing units known as micro-factories.. Guaro Farms not only supports smallholder farmers, particularly women, by providing them with sustainable income opportunities but also addresses significant challenges in food safety and economic efficiency within the agricultural sector. The mission of Guaro Farms is to provide a scalable and sustainable model that can be replicated across Ethiopia and beyond, ensuring that local farmers can compete in the global market by meeting international standards.
