Description
Prum Ventures (U) Ltd is an agribusiness enterprise transforming locally grown okra and cereals into nutritious, affordable, and shelf-stable food products. Our innovation focuses on producing okra powder, okra sauce powder, and wholesome porridge flour that improve nutrition for families, especially women and children. By combining traditional crops with modern food processing, we create value for rural farmers while promoting healthier diets and sustainable livelihoods across Uganda.
Impact
The innovation by Prum Ventures (U) Ltd is creating a significant socio-economic impact by strengthening rural livelihoods, improving community nutrition, and fostering inclusive growth. Through the okra value chain, we engage smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth, providing them with reliable market access and stable income opportunities. Our products, derived from locally sourced crops, promote better nutrition among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, lactating mothers, children, and the elderly, contributing to improved public health outcomes. This approach empowers communities economically and advances food security, supports local value addition, and encourages sustainable agricultural practices.
Target Audience
The main beneficiaries of the innovation are smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth, who supply okra and other raw materials and gain improved market access and income stability. Consumers, including pregnant women, lactating mothers, children, the elderly, and health-conscious individuals, benefit from affordable, nutrient-rich food products that enhance their overall well-being. In addition, local retailers, distributors, and community-based vendors gain new business opportunities, creating a ripple effect of economic empowerment and improved nutrition across households and communities
