A national food business, built farm by farm.
Kalinasho is structured like the supply chain it is replacing: contracted farmers at one end, national retail at the other, and our own certified production in between.
That structure is what lets us scale without losing control of quality, traceability or price.
A growing range
Eleven products across staples, spreads, beverages, cooking essentials, confectionery and personal care: mahangu millet flour, mahangu cookies, eembe berry jam, peanut butter, mutete and Zesticore juices, Mahuku cooking oil, chilli sauce, spice mix, wildnuts chocolate and HerbCrown hair oil.
Four routes to market
Retail.
Supermarkets and shops across Namibia.
Wholesale.
Bulk distributors supplying the wider trade.
Online.
Direct to consumers.
Government supply.
Schools and hospitals.
Priced to win
By sourcing locally and processing at home, we sell 15–20 per cent below comparable imported alternatives, with 100% natural, nutritious products and a safer supply than informal channels.

Who we serve
Households, particularly urban families, who want healthy, natural food with no artificial preservatives and no artificial sweeteners. And retail buyers who need reliable, retail-ready local products and an affordable alternative to imports.
The market
- N$162 million
- our serviceable obtainable market in Namibia
- N$1.2 billion
- the wider Southern African market
- N$260 billion
- the global organic foods market
Four forces are working in our favour: a government push for import substitution, retailers expanding local-sourcing programmes, SADC trade-agreement advantages, and a lasting post-COVID preference for local, traceable food. Our goal is to capture 15–20 of Namibia’s retailers within 12–18 months.
