Capabilities

Processing

  • We introduce the first transformation unit in Senegal for processing, chips making, and packaging of fonio grains.

  • We have 5 main lines for: 1) steaming 2) chips 3) crisps 4) bulk packaging and 5) retail packaging products.

  • At YWA, we understand the risks and the importance of high control to erase cross-contamination. This is why we built the YWA process for steaming and chips making by using high quality standards machine units for large volume. We are also building a packaging and storage unit with limited access, which will respect safety standards, norms controls, and will be under 24/7 surveillance.

  • YWA proposes premium packaging under the Yolélé brand for steamed fonio, fonio flour, hibiscus and baobab to be distributed in the biggest food stores all around the world.

  • For the food and beverage industry, YWA proposes bulk products.

YWA intends to sell Yolélé products in Africa and Europe, in addition to the US market where the Yolélé brand has been sold for the past three years in supermarkets such as WholeFoods.
