Community food recommendations are your most powerful channel

The problem this solves
What happens without this campaign
Food recommendations are community-driven and unmeasured
In African markets, food brand adoption often spreads through market women, community groups, and family networks.
No structured mechanism to incentivise word-of-mouth
The market trader who recommends your rice to 50 customers a day receives nothing from you.
Community food influencers are untapped
Community food vendors, market traders, and cooking groups are your most effective distribution of recommendation.
