The Food Retail Industry Challenge Fund (FRICH) aimed to improve the lives of poor Africans by connecting them to the UK and other European markets in an equitable and sustainable way, increasing European imports of food from Africa.
The competitive fund supported new ideas that connect African farmers with global retailers through innovative business partnerships. FRICH achieved results by removing blockages to market access and making sure that European shoppers know what differences their purchases make to poor farmers.
