“Roughly one-third of the edible parts of food produced for human consumption, gets lost or wasted globally, which is about 1.3 billion ton per year”
— FAO
“If food wastage were a country, it would be the third largest emitting country in the world”
— FAO
“If we cut food waste in half worldwide, we would move Earth Overshoot Day 13 days”
— Global Footprint Network

How It Works

Kigüi offers digital solutions designed to help retailers reduce food waste while boosting sales performance. Their platform addresses key areas of operations by optimizing supply chain logistics through data-driven delivery analysis, ensuring each store receives the right stock at the right time. Using machine learning, it predicts batches nearing expiration and assigns tasks to promoters, enhancing efficiency and reducing losses. At the store level, the platform identifies the most profitable actions—whether applying discounts, offering cashback, or facilitating donations—to turn potential waste into value.
