About us

Rooted in Bonga. Built on real food.

An Ethiopian food manufacturing and innovation enterprise, growing from everyday staples into responsible enset-based product development.

Who we are

Our story

Haiti Food Innovation ET grew from long practical experience in baking and a determination to create more value from Ethiopia's own food resources. Based in Bonga, Kaffa Zone, the enterprise was established in 2015 and builds on more than twenty years of hands-on bakery experience.

Our roots are in the everyday foods people know and trust: injera, bread, cakes and cookies. From that foundation, we have spent more than nine years developing practical uses for enset-derived kocho and bulla, alongside teff, wheat and other locally relevant ingredients.

Today, Haiti Food Innovation ET is both a working food business and a growing research platform. We produce established staple and bakery foods, develop new enset- and teff-based products, and move every public claim through quality and evidence checks before presenting it to buyers.

Our approach

How we work

Respect tradition

We honour traditional food knowledge while improving consistency and convenience.

Separate clearly

Established commercial products are always distinguished from products still under validation or scale-up.

Prove it

Documented trials, quality controls and external evidence stand behind every product-specific claim.

Protect ideas

We protect our formulations and intellectual property while sharing useful public knowledge responsibly.

Grow together

We grow through customers, institutions, suppliers, farmers, researchers and development partners.

Stay accountable

Traceability, complaint handling and controlled change keep us answerable for what we make.
