Why We Created EcoFeed Nexus

A mission born from necessity

The Problem We're Solving

South Africa faces a critical paradox:

•10 million tonnes of food go to waste annually in South Africa
•30% of all food produced is never consumed
•14 million South Africans face food insecurity daily
•Food waste contributes 3% to GDP loss and massive CO2 emissions

We saw perfectly good food being discarded because it was nearing its expiry date, while millions went hungry just kilometers away. The disconnect between surplus and need was staggering - and we knew technology could bridge this gap.

Our Innovation

Real-Time Marketplace

Connect suppliers with buyers instantly when surplus food becomes available

Dynamic Pricing

Automated discount system based on expiry proximity - up to 70% off
