Mbessa High-Quality Beans, Cameroon

The Mbessa hills, where the beans come from. Every sack that reaches market in good condition is a family's school fees and a step toward the parish's self-reliance.

Post-harvest loss is where a smallholder's income quietly disappears. We're building proper storage and a cooperative around Mbessa beans so farmers sell when prices are right — not just when the harvest forces their hand.

Mbessa produces some of the finest beans in Cameroon — the problem was never quality, it was storage and reaching the market before the value leaks away. Starting the work to fix both. 🫘
