AWIP Deal Room in Action: Women-Led Enterprises Pitching for Growth
Today at the Africa Industrialisation Week 2025, Sarah Aidoo of Jireh Aidoo Ltd, Ghana pitched her innovative solution in the rice sector.
Her company, Kyidom Foods by Jireh-Aidoo Ltd, is transforming the local rice market by addressing processing, packaging, and consumer-ready presentation — ensuring Ghanaian farmers’ produce reaches homes, schools, and businesses with consistent quality and sustainability.
Key highlights from the pitch:
✅ 100% Ghanaian-grown, processed, and packaged rice
✅ Suitable for all rice meals — from Jollof to porridge
✅ Sustainable use of by-products like husks and bran
✅ Strategic partnerships with the Ghana Commercial Rice Bureau & Food Bidding Program for schools
Sarah’s presentation demonstrates how local solutions, quality standards, and value addition can unlock opportunities for women-led businesses in Africa.
This session is brought to you by BuildHer Industry, as part of AWIParks, providing women entrepreneurs the platform, visibility, and investor feedback needed to scale and grow.
