Quand PEMNIA WELLNESS<\/em> les produits parviennent aujourd'hui aux foyers nig\u00e9rians, de la farine de patate douce \u00e0 chair orange (PDCO) dans les repas scolaires aux chips riches en vitamine A dans les boutiques de quartier, ils portent la vision d'une jeune femme qui a transform\u00e9 sa curiosit\u00e9 en impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le parcours d'Opeyemi Adebisi a d\u00e9but\u00e9 en 2022 avec une formation sur la production de patates douces \u00e0 chair orange (OFSP) et la valorisation organis\u00e9e par le programme ENABLE-TAAT \u00e0 IITA<\/a>, Ibadan. \u201c Cette formation a enflamm\u00e9 ma passion. J'ai vu comment cette culture pouvait lutter contre la malnutrition et am\u00e9liorer les moyens de subsistance \u201d, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 la suite de la formation, elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 encadr\u00e9e par l'expert en d\u00e9veloppement commercial d'ENABLE-TAAT, Idowu Osun, qui l'a aid\u00e9e \u00e0 s'approvisionner en ses premiers tubercules de patate douce \u00e0 chair orange (OFSP), l'a guid\u00e9e dans le d\u00e9veloppement de produits, lui a offert des opportunit\u00e9s d'exposer ses produits lors d'\u00e9v\u00e9nements et de programmes, et l'a pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e au TAAT<\/a> Compact OFSP. Ce qui avait commenc\u00e9 comme des essais \u00e0 petite \u00e9chelle a rapidement \u00e9volu\u00e9 pour devenir une entreprise enregistr\u00e9e, PEMNIA WELLNESS<\/em><\/a>, produisant d\u00e9sormais de la farine, des chips, garri<\/em>, et des repas pour les \u00e9coliers, les m\u00e8res, les patients diab\u00e9tiques, les ONG et les consommateurs soucieux de leur sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c TAAT ne m'a pas seulement fait d\u00e9couvrir la patate douce \u00e0 chair orange (OFSP) ; cela m'a donn\u00e9 les outils, le r\u00e9seau et la confiance n\u00e9cessaires pour b\u00e2tir quelque chose qui fait la diff\u00e9rence \u201d, a-t-elle d\u00e9clar\u00e9. Au fil du temps, la demande n'a cess\u00e9 de cro\u00eetre, suscitant l'int\u00e9r\u00eat des march\u00e9s locaux et internationaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Au-del\u00e0 de TAAT, Aminat a continu\u00e9 \u00e0 perfectionner ses connaissances techniques et sa capacit\u00e9 entrepreneuriale en participant \u00e0 d'autres formations et programmes du secteur tels que l'IITA Les jeunes dans le secteur agroalimentaire<\/a> formation en transformation et conditionnement des aliments, la Fondation Tony Elumelu<\/a> Programme d'entrepreneuriat et le programme Agriculteurs pour l'avenir par Fondation BATN<\/a>. Ces plateformes ont renforc\u00e9 sa capacit\u00e9 \u00e0 innover, \u00e0 se d\u00e9velopper et \u00e0 faire cro\u00eetre son entreprise de mani\u00e8re durable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son travail va au-del\u00e0 de la transformation. En connectant les petits agriculteurs aux march\u00e9s, en \u00e9duquant les communaut\u00e9s sur la valeur nutritionnelle de la patate douce \u00e0 chair orange (OFSP) et en autonomisant les femmes et les jeunes dans la cha\u00eene de valeur, elle a b\u00e2ti une entreprise qui non seulement lutte contre la malnutrition, mais cr\u00e9e \u00e9galement des opportunit\u00e9s d'emploi. Aujourd'hui, PEMNIA WELLNESS<\/em> a atteint des \u00e9tapes cl\u00e9s, notamment les approbations de la NAFDAC, du SON et de la FDA, confirmant la qualit\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de ses produits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tourn\u00e9e vers l'avenir, elle envisage d'accro\u00eetre la capacit\u00e9 de production, de s'implanter sur les march\u00e9s africains et d'utiliser la technologie pour la tra\u00e7abilit\u00e9 et l'\u00e9ducation nutritionnelle, tout en augmentant la participation des femmes et des jeunes agriculteurs dans la cha\u00eene d'approvisionnement des patates douces \u00e0 chair orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Son histoire est la preuve qu'avec le bon soutien, une seule formation peut enflammer une id\u00e9e qui transforme des communaut\u00e9s. PEMNIA WELLNESS<\/em> cro\u00eet, de m\u00eame grandit la promesse d'une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration plus saine, nourrie et plus forte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
