Best Tropical Fruits Ltd is a Kenyan company that addresses the challenge of excess soft fruits in Machakos and neighbouring counties. They process high-quality fruits like mango, avocado, banana, pawpaw, citrus, and tomatoes, sourced from smallholder farmers in Central and Eastern Kenya. Despite a processing capacity of 12 tonnes per day, the company currently operates at 50%, handling 6 tonnes daily.The factory relies on grid electricity, which is both expensive and unreliable due to frequent downtimes. Monthly energy costs reach $200, significantly affecting operations. Additionally, the factory incurs $50 weekly for waste disposal, managing 1 tonne of fruit waste per day, some of which is repurposed for insect farming.This presents an opportunity for FoodBox, which can help reduce costs, manage waste more efficiently, and improve energy reliability.
