Yaji Spice's Mission
Empowering Women Farmers with Quality Spices
Yaji Spice is a woman-owned and woman-led brand bringing bold and authentic flavors of West African cuisine to your table. Our spices are sustainably sourced from women-run farms in Nigeria and Ghana, ensuring freshness and quality. Each blend is freshly harvested and freshly milled for maximum flavor and potency. Direct from West African farms, Yaji Spice supports sustainability and empowers women in agriculture while elevating your everyday cooking.
Quality and Flavor
We are passionate about offering the finest spices West Africa has to offer, with a focus on freshness and flavor. Our products meet or exceed FDA food quality standards. Every batch is freshly milled and blended to ensure maximum potency and eliminate the risk of stale spices, delivering bold flavors with every use.
Sustainability and Livelihoods
Yaji Spice was created to revolutionize the spice industry through ethical, direct-from-farm supply chains. We source 100% of our ingredients directly from farmers in Nigeria and Ghana. By cutting out middlemen, we ensure that our farmers receive fair compensation and economic security while supporting their families.
Women’s Empowerment
At Yaji Spice, we’re committed to empowering women farmers by providing fair wages and creating leadership opportunities in agriculture. As a woman-driven brand, we are dedicated to uplifting more women through influential roles in farming as we grow, ensuring that women have the tools and resources to thrive.
Climate and Nature
At Yaji Spice, we embrace nature-based solutions to combat climate change, incorporating practices such as agroforestry and regenerative agriculture.
This means:
- trees are planted
- cash and food crops are rotated
- irrigation and clean water are supplied
- biodiversity and soil health are improved
Leading to…
- more food harvested
- more income earned
- more carbon captured
- more land reforested and protected from droughts and floods
As Yaji Spice grows, our goal is to expand the climate adaptation program to 8,000 more acres of land.
