The company also provides market access opportunities for smallholder pig farmers in the region

Market Opportunity/ Problem

In Ghana, it is very difficult to find quality lean pork (pork minimal less fat) even though it is the most consumed meat type and 8th most nutritious food in the world. This is even more severe in underserved communities who mostly have access to only unhealthy fatty pork resulting in increased risk of health-related complications. ViFarms addresses this challenge by making high-quality lean pork available to these communities
