Turning Women Vegetable Vendors into Micro-Entrepreneurs

The backbone of Uganda’s food economy is female.
But she is often invisible.

90% of our vegetable vendors are women and young girls.

They are the primary reason your family eats fresh food every day.

Yet, they operate in the shadows of the "4 AM hustle."

They risk theft, violence, and exhaustion just to find quality stock.

At farmsell.org believe an empowered woman shouldn't have to be a martyr for her business.

By digitizing the supply chain, we give her back 4 hours of her day.

That’s 4 hours for rest. 4 hours for family. 4 hours to dream bigger.

This hashtag#InternationalWomensDay, we’re giving to gain.

When we give women safety and technology, Uganda gains a stronger economy.

Women are the backbone of Pakistan’s food system. From working in fields and livestock care to preparing meals at home, they contribute at every stage of food production and nourishment. Yet the inequality they face is deeply rooted. Many women have limited access to land ownership, financial resources, education, and decision-making power. In many households, women cook for the entire family but often eat last and sometimes the least. Cultural norms, unpaid labor, and restricted economic opportunities continue to limit their ability to access nutritious food and healthcare.

If we want stronger and healthier food systems, we must invest in women’s health, nutrition, education, and financial independence. Empowering women is not just about fairness, it is essential for building healthier families and communities.

Importance économique de la nutrition des femmes.

Importance économique de la nutrition des femmes.

# data[].attributes.body
La nutrition des femmes est une question de puissance économique. Une femme bien nourrie est une personne en meilleure santé , c’est une force productive plus stable, une entrepreneure plus résiliente, une travailleuse plus performante et un pilier plus solide pour sa famille et sa communauté. Derrière chaque économie dynamique se trouve la capacité physique et mentale des femmes à soutenir l’activité économique. Investir dans leur nutrition n’est donc pas un geste de solidarité, c’est un choix d’intelligence économique. Autrement dit, quand une société nourrit ses femmes, elle nourrit en réalité sa propre prospérité

From a young age, many women are socially conditioned to be caregivers — daughters, sisters, mothers, partners, professionals.

Globally, data from UN Women shows that women perform the majority of unpaid care work. That means:

Cooking for the family

Managing doctor appointments

Ensuring children eat properly

Caring for aging parents

But often skipping their own check-ups, meals, and rest.

As a woman you remember everyone’s appointments.

You pack everyone’s meals.

You hold everyone together.

But tell me…

"Who is holding you?”

This year's women's day love your self a bit more and have your meals before everyone else. Remember a nourished woman is not selfish, she is unstoppable.

The GAIN NIS project has significantly enhanced the capacity of AWAN Uganda as an Enterprise Support Organization, providing implementation funding, knowledge products, and staff capacity-building initiatives. Consequently, AWAN Uganda has empowered 200 women-led MSMEs through the adoption of nutrition-sensitive business models and food safety training. Key outcomes include the linkage of 56 enterprises to incubation centers for product development, the formalization of 16 companies through registration with the Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB), and the enhancement of digital marketing capabilities. Collectively, these interventions have enabled supported entrepreneurs to achieve a 30% increase in sales, thereby driving sustainable growth for women-owned MSMEs in Uganda.

GAIN’s Nutrition Impact at Scale project has significantly strengthened Afriscope’s ability to support women-led businesses through structured advisory, capacity building, investment readiness support, market linkages, and improved access to finance. Under the project, we support five enterprises, of which two are women-led and one is co-led by a woman. The project also enabled Afriscope to establish the Nutricap revolving fund, which has supported four additional women-led enterprises beyond the project, thereby strengthening inclusive growth and expanding access to affordable nutritious food.

Through GAIN’s NIS project, CWEN has strengthened its capacity to support 107 women-led MSMEs across the peanut, soya, fish, and pineapple value chains. From targeted capacity building with nutrition positioned as a unique value proposition, to support in nutrition testing,
financial management, product certification, market access, and access to finance. This integrated approach is enabling youth and women-led Micro Small and Medium Enterprises become more competitive, compliant, and growth-ready.

We are part of the Aidego Cooperative in Adjohoun. Through support and training, we have improved how we package our products and how we work together as a team. Our cooperative produces nutritious foods such as red-skinned potato flour and cassava products enriched with coconut milk and honey.

This work helps women in our community earn an income and support their families. Many members depend on this cooperative for their livelihoods, and we are proud of the progress we have made together.

We hope more people in our community will learn about nutritious local foods and support small producers like us. Initiatives like this help strengthen women’s economic opportunities and healthier diets for families.

We work more with young ladies, single mothers, widows, those with an average or no income at all. They have more access to our company, and we also give them room.

Here at CEVADEL, our company's ownership 50/50, half owned by women and half by men. We are co-founders and co-managers of the company. This means the woman is not abused by the man, because we acknowledge the role of the woman in an agri-food company. It's a fact that in the absence of women, we cannot succeed, because women are the ones with the knowledge of how to cook. We are already in a kitchen setting here. She is well involved in the governance of the company, as the deputy, because when I am away, she is entrusted with the decision-making power to keep the company running. We also have a mandate to give priority to women — there is no other man than myself who works in the company. This helps address the women's rights challenge. For example, on Mondays we conduct our staff meetings where each staff member gives their feedback on the day-to-day running of the company and its development status, because if I were to act alone — because I'm a man — it might prevent women from expressing themselves freely. If she is prevented from doing so, this could hamper the development of the company.

First of, women are the ones that cook, everything we eat even in restaurant is cooked by women. They know how to cook a delicious meal without using flavouring cube. for experienced women  if they shared their knowledge with their peers, through culinary demonstration, those peers could learn from them. They have right but I can’t name them here, for women to have their right respected the NGOs and government have encourage women to enjoy those rights, or even the SUN Business network have to support them by either technically or financially, because no matter how skilful you are if you lack the financial means to implement an idea you can’t prosper.
