Abstract :
Food processing is emerging as a strategic lever in sub-Saharan Africa’s rural transformation agenda, offering pathways to economic resilience, job creation, and inclusive industrialization. This paper examines the case of Sina Gerard Enterprise Urwibutso, one of Rwanda’s most respected entrepreneurs, whose enterprise— Sina Gerard Enterprise Urwibutso —exemplifies the transformative potential of agro-industrial innovation. Using a qualitative case study approach, this research explores the enterprise’s impact on smallholder integration, youth employment, education, and sustainable branding under the 'Made in Rwanda' initiative. Findings reveal that Urwibutso’s farm-to-factory model has catalyzed multidimensional growth in rural communities by combining inclusive business strategies with value chain development.
