Who we are
One network, from the seedling to the shelf.
AAAN began in 2015 with a nursery and 120 farmers in Nyandarua, Kenya. We gave them clean seed, better methods and a guaranteed buyer, and their harvests grew. Today, from our head office in Nairobi, we run that same model across Kenya, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire. We work with more than 12,000+ farmers, add value to what they grow, and deliver it to buyers in 15 countries.
