SPAWN LABORATORY MANAGER

 Our Mission

Kigali Farms works to help fight chronic malnutrition by providing the foundation of a sound mushroom industry, allowing mushrooms to become a meaningful part of the East African diet.

Our Vision

We think of mushrooms as the forgotten, high-impact crop. Mushrooms require minimal land, and the Rwandan climate is ideal for growing them. Mushrooms need meticulous care, and Rwanda’s women have proven adept at cultivating them. Most importantly, their nutritional value makes them a perfect fit for the traditional Rwandan diet. With these very qualities, mushrooms can equip Rwandans with a crop that is easily grown and consumed.

Today, however, they are produced inefficiently and with high costs. Kigali Farms strives to improve mushroom productivity and bring mushrooms within reach of most East African household budgets. We hope to make mushrooms in the EAC as plentiful as tomatoes, carrots, or bananas.

We envision mushrooms as the most cost-effective source of protein for anyone in East Africa, one that will provide many with new income opportunities and a healthier diet, hence tackling food insecurity and malnutrition.

The Kigali Farms Spirit

At Kigali Farms we value team spirit above all else. We expect you to be creative and effective and have fun in the process, bring your best ideas to the team, support your teammates and ask for support when you need it. You will be working very hard! We want you to be highly motivated by our mission of fighting malnutrition and understand how everyone at Kigali Farms contributes to this mission by making us a stronger team. We want you to share in the vision that mushrooms can and will make a difference, because together we are laying the foundation of a new industry in our region, an industry which will eventually provide income and nutrition to hundreds or thousands.
