Mariam's Grains, Flour & Kitchenettes
MGFK, a creative agritech, and foods innovative solution approach aimed at curbing the poor availability of foods and foods product.
MGFK Innovative Solution stretches tall with its dedicated group of entrepreneurs, business analyst and tech experts to provide solutions to Nigerian's Food Insecurity and Food Shortage.
Nigeria as a country has faced serious general insecurity challenges and political instability which has caused communities severe hardships, poverty and National Inflation. This problem has brought tensions, insurgencies, inflation, curroption, poverty and lost of lives of thousands of citizens in our community.
The Food wastage, Shortage and the uprising food insecurities in these communities are as a result of the National Insecurities and Political instabilities faced which has prevented Agri experts, farmers, transport industry and other food experts to effectively Produce, process and distribute foods from one place to another and to various households.
Farmers, are being killed, kidnapped, and robbed on a daily due to our state of security, and the government are not doing their best to provide Solutions. Highways are hijacked by terrorists, foods and foods product face damages and wastage from these attacks and insecurity outcomes. These has reduced efficient and effective production, processing and distribution of foods across our communities; thereby causing inflation, food insecurities, wastage and shortage, hunger and poverty.
Over 50 million Nigerians are affected by these challenges, which makes up to over 25% of the entire country's population.
This persisting issue has led to fear and insurgency, keeping many including manufacturers, distributors, processors and consumers from going to the farm and other food outlets to buy thier foods and food products.
These problem since 2015 till date has recorded recession, inflation and insurgency in the state, and our food insecurity, wastage and shortage keep multiplying in figures and numbers and causing rising increase to our poverty and hunger issues.
Our Solutions have been tailored to improve the hierarchy of food production demands, supplies and food consumption in these communities through it combined innovative approaches. These approaches include the leverage of technologies to streamline both the demand, distribution, and production of these foods.
Our solution offers the following services;
processing of grains to various flour products, online food and grains sales orders, facilitation of large farming by partnering with farmers and security agencies, and lastly, partnerships with distribution and transport companies for easy transfer and delivery of grains, foods and food products.
Our target population consist of local and urban communities, and over 25% of the Nigerian Population are affected by this unsustainable systems.
The northern part of Nigeria is mostly affected because these communities in the north region of the country has the highest insecurity challenge, and our main offices are located in these region.
In 10 years time, These solution would have addressed the needs of over 50 million people.
Our Team of dedicated workforce have diverse backgrounds and expertise in various fields including and not limited to, Information Technology, Agricultural engineering, Business and Political economy, Human resources management, production and operations managment, business administration, mechanical and electrical engineering.
Our previous projects and experiences in serving the communities through conceptual innovations and our unique business models have set our record apart and have helped is improve our communities with impactful solutions affecting them.
We have participated actively with the Institute of Agricultural Research IAR, in collaboration with USAID (United state agency for international development) on the Atlas project. The research project is part of the USAID feed the future innovation lab for legume systems research , aimed at identifying data sources and gaps along the cowpea and other legumes value chain.
The project is aimed at addressing some of the SDG (sustainable development goals) goals particularly on food security.
- Other: Addressing an unmet social, environmental, or economic need not covered in the four dimensions above.
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model
Our Solutions are uniquely innovative with conceptual strategies put in place to actualise our goals.
Our Organisation will provide processed food products that are highly unavailable and inaccessible e.g the Beans Flour. Most of these products are usually imported from overseas and the few manufacturers in the market lack the capacity to develop their product to standard and at affordable rates.
We will also install machineries to produce ecological modified grains to help us contribute to our farm produce.
Also, our distribution platforms which entails creating technology to streamline product ordering and delivery remotely will be highly impactful and will reduce the chances of roads risks.
Furthermore, we will set up both online and onsite Kitchenette services to offer best quality foods and beverages that comes from our crops productions and processing.
Our impact goal is to first create an economic value and revitalize the poor state of food security in communities.
We will also offer a great place of work by empowering the communities with career opportunities in the Agritech industry and enhancing the learning environment.
We'll also mitigate the risks yielding from insecurities and thereby creating a sense of safety and good health amongst all in the various communities we hope to serve.
Waste management is also another impact goal we will achieve in the coming year by leveraging on technology to recycle wastes into biochemicals and fertilizers for farming purposes. Which will in turn increase our output.
Lastly, Soybean and Cowpea is one of the underdeveloped crop in Africa and having the most beneficial and high protein content amongst grains and other crop. In this part of Africa, soybean and cowpea could be well produced and processed to help us achieve our desired flour and foods product for local and international consumption. A research with the institute of Agricultural research shows that farmers are still yet to identify the gaps and challenges mitigating the production, processing and marketing of these products, but our discoveries and innovative solutions have provided metrics and techniques to boost the economy with this highly nutritious foods/grains.
Our technology includes,
- advance Food processing Technology (milling machines, dehuller, aspirator, sealing machine e.t.c)
- food manufacturing technology
- Digital Technology (softwares and hardware) e.g computers, social media tools, printers e.t.c
- Farming Technologies
- Crowd Sourced Service / Social Networks
- Internet of Things
- Manufacturing Technology
- Software and Mobile Applications
we currently serve approximately: 50,000 people.
We plan to serve approximately 5,000,000 people next year.
Our core challenge is Finance.
We require funding to acquire the right technologies and workplace to carryout our solutions effectively.
MGFK has partnerships with Institute of Agricultural Research IAR, following the nomination of the institute to join them for atlas research funded by the USAID. This research will help our Organisation identify and understand the gaps in our production and processing of grains, and to proffer solutions.
We also have partnership with an organization called "Tamvita" which processes Millet, corn and dates into healthy flour for consumption.
Our Business model and strategies have been modified to provide unique products that highly in demand both inadequate in the market with top notch quality. These products would not just offer quality but create competitions amongst agro experts and entrepreneurs, and these would improve our economy and GDP with a great margin.
We'll create a good workplace that would avail the community a handsome of employment and reduce the poor rate of unemployment and hunger.
Our strategies will be channelled towards the sourcing of funds through shares and sales of stocks, investment from non governmental bodies and private agencies, angel investors and micro loans.
Our marketing strategies in place would showcase our products and services on all social media platforms including the search engine optimization tool. We would also make use of thorough grassroot level advertisements and promotions to reach out to the vast communities.
Our generated revenue would be automated to contribute more to our working capital and infrastructures so as to increase investment and return on investment.
