However, to do this well, we believe it's critical to support each stage of the value chain and care for all stakeholders involved. This can only be achieved through vertical integration all the way back to the farm gate. It also means working closely with smallholder farmers on crop variety improvement and technical assistance to enhance efficiency on the farm and the quality of produce.Headquartered in South Africa, Philafrica Foods is currently represented in the following categories:- Oil & Protein- Animal Feeds- Grain Milling- Dog Food Production- Mussel Farming & Processing- Snack Manufacturing- Bread Production- Poultry (Mozambique)- Cassava Processing
