Many young Africans are doing incredible things on the Agricultural value chain all around Africa but Diego Twahirwa is by far one of the most fast and mind blowing successes and the ultimate proof that if you understand Agriculture, you can reach impressive figures in a short period of time. Diego as many calls him is an agronomist who ventured in Chili farming and is the founder of Gashora Farm PLC. Prior to starting this venture, he had a brief stint at Horizon Sopyrwa in 2013, where he realized he had more passion for farming and chose to quit to pursue his dream. He started growing different horticultural produces before eventually venturing into Chili farming as he realized that there was an important gap on the global market. Due to limiting production capacity, he works with more than 10 000 farmers who he buys Chili from for export and Chili Processing. Born in 1988, he has a Bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness from the University of Rwanda and a Post-Graduate diploma in Entrepreneurship from Regent University (USA). He has served as the Vice chairman of Rwanda Youth in Agribusiness forum (RYAF) and is the current Chairman of the Agriculture and Livestock Cluster in the Private Sector Federation of Rwanda (PSF). Apart from exporting the Chili to International markets such as UK, India and Belgium, GASHORA FARM reduces loss by processing the 2nd grade Chili not fit for export into Chili Oil, Chili Paste and Chili Sauce (Paprika and Pineapple flavors). The product, Didi’s Chili Oil, is sold in both Local and International Market including, Switzerland, UK, USA, Kenya and Hungary. He secured 2000 hectares in Zimbabwe to expand the business operations beyond Rwanda and is relentlessly working to reduce the gap on the chili market and provide decent working conditions for the thousands of farmers on the chili value chain .
