Alaska Tanzania Industries is a food company that mainly focused on providing packaged and branded local food products. She was motivated to start in the industry as she realized that Tanzania was blessed with natural resources yet fewer businesses interested in processing those resources into consumer goods.
The company currently has 25 employees who process, package, and distribute consumer goods ranging from rice, eggs, sunflower oil, maize flour, and so on to local supermarkets, and international retailers, including Food Lover’s Market and Game.
Alaska Tanzania Industries has gained a good reputation across the country, especially for its top-tier packaging concept. In 2016, it was awarded as one of the top 50 local brands by the Tanzania Private Sector Foundation as well as the Tanzania Bureau of Standards.
