African nosh
What does your company do?
African Nosh specializes in producing and promoting traditional fermented sorghum, known as Ting. Ting is a nutritious, fermented grain product widely consumed in various African cultures, celebrated for its health benefits and rich, tangy flavor. At African Nosh, we focus on crafting high-quality, authentic Ting that captures the essence of African culinary heritage. Our product is made from locally sourced sorghum, offering a gluten-free, probiotic-rich option for modern diets. We aim to introduce this ancient superfood to global markets while supporting sustainable agriculture and preserving African food traditions.
What is your biggest success?
1. Retail Breakthrough:
Successfully secured shelf space at a local retail store, expanding reach and increasing product visibility among mainstream consumers.
2. Quality & Compliance Excellence:
Achieved GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) certifications, demonstrating a strong commitment to food safety and production standards.
What has been your biggest hurdle?
Our biggest hurdle has been access to a fully equipped and consistent working facility. As a small agro-processing business, we’ve had to navigate challenges like limited space, unreliable utilities, and shared equipment, which can slow down production and impact consistency. These limitations have affected our ability to scale efficiently and meet growing demand from retail and individual customers. Despite these challenges, we’ve maintained high product quality, passed critical audits, and secured shelf space in local retail—clear signs of our potential. Access to a dedicated, well-equipped facility would significantly enhance our capacity, streamline operations, and open doors to wider markets.
