Twelve priority nations — nine across Africa plus Germany, Hungary, and Georgia (Europe) — where we are building our distribution and route-to-market strategy, including a company setup in Kenya, with a clear ambition to reach every market where African excellence can lead.
Big Five Group builds from African soil outward — regenerative farming, fortified nutrition, ethical capital access, and Super-Cube® leadership. First we build distribution and route-to-market strategy in priority nations. Then we expand with the same integrity into the rest of Africa and the world.
Fortified porridges and soya minces produced for South African institutional demand — including the National School Nutrition Programme (NSNP) pathway — form the home base of a wider distribution story. From KZN we build route-to-market into priority African nations and European corridors (Germany · Hungary · Georgia), with Kenya as East Africa company hub. Same product integrity; local logistics and partners.

Well-being is not a privilege. Families eat with dignity, leaders decide with integrity, and communities build economies they own.
Corridors empower African excellence abroad — distribution and RTM that multiply Feed and Empower.
Challenge: Global hunger remains ~645M (SOFI 2026). Trade corridors and ethical RTM shape whether African production and fortification reach markets with dignity.
Our response: Priority Africa + Europe distribution strategy with Group standards and SupplierAdvisor®-ready trade.
