Our team…
Empowering the Local Community
Africas Best Foods Ltd is proud to employ members of the local Mpumalanga and Midlands communities. By doing this, we empower the women in the surrounding rural areas, who are often the bread winners in their respective families.
These women are involved in the harvesting of mushrooms during the rainy season which takes place from October to April. During this time, Africas Best Foods Ltd provides transport to and from the plantations for harvesting as well as purchases product from members of the local communities.
Our staff has an in-depth knowledge of the plantations in which they harvest. They have spent their entire lives watching the land change. Africas Best Foods Ltd encourages positive growth in the community by empowering women and providing a sustainable work environment,
