Sylva Food Solutions (SFS), founded by Sylvia Banda, is the largest processing company of indigenous vegetables in Zambia. SFS not only buys produce from local, rural farmers and packages it and sells it to local supermarkets, but they also train local farmers in the post harvest drying technique, which entails solar drying vegetables including sweet potato leaves, pumpkin leaves, cassava, okra and African eggplant. As an NGO, this subsidiary of Sylva Foods has trained over 9,000 rural farmers thus far in the country, enabling them to enlarge their production capacity and engage directly with domestic markets. All the raw materials come from these small-scale farmers. As the business and demand grows, USAID has contributed assistance and helped set up 20 training schemes with small holder farmers all over the country. 80% of the farmers who benefit from the training are female. The World Bank has also provided grants for machinery and processing equipment.
Banda founded the company with a strong desire to promote Zambian food and produce locally, as a key ingredient to a healthy life. In addition to the food processing business, she also runs a successfully catering company, restaurant, and is building Zambia’s first accredited university for the hospitality industry—which will be up and running in September 2012.
Although the business mostly sells its products within Zambia, Banda has recently worked with the African Women’s Entrepreneurship Program (AWEP), as part of AGOA, to export products to the US. They help train female agribusiness workers to meet US FDA standards.
