Driving Change, Inspiring Growth
CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)
At Yellow Star, we go beyond sourcing raw materials—we empower our farmers to thrive.
Through tailored training and partnerships, we deliver value across the agricultural value chain by;
- Fostering Good Agronomic Practices: Providing farmers with practical skills to improve yields, reduce waste, and ensure sustainable farming methods.
- Promoting Savings Groups & SACCOs: Supporting the formation of cooperative savings groups to enhance financial security and access to credit for farming inputs and community development.
- Enhancing Climate Resilience: Training farmers on adaptive practices like drought-resistant crops, proper post-harvest handling, and climate-smart farming techniques.
Together, we create a sustainable ecosystem where farmers prosper, communities thrive, and food security is achieved.
Empowering Communities
In 2018, Yellow Star partnered with Healthy Entrepreneurs, a community-based social enterprise that specializes in the implementation of last mile distribution models of reliable products and information. Their partnership has increased incomes for 876 (838 of whom are women) low-income people, who are now employed as last mile distributors and sales agents of Yellow Star’s nutritious food products to consumers in hard to reach and remote areas.
The company also signed supplier contracts with 13 farmer groups working with over 2,897 smallholder farmers (2,030 women). These were all trained on good agricultural practices such as soil testing, garden preparation, good seed selection, post-harvest handling of crops and bookkeeping. With the contracts and farmers trained, Yellow Star now has a guaranteed supply of quality grain for processing, and the farmers have an assured market for their grain, a win-win situation for all.
