Twiga Layoffs

About

Twiga Foods, an e-commerce food distribution startup in Africa, laid off approximately 283 employees, representing about one-third of its 850 permanent workforce, in August 2023. The company cited a tough business environment and declining purchasing power as reasons for operational restructuring aimed at becoming a leaner and more cost-efficient organization. Despite the layoffs, Twiga denied rumors of shutting down its Ugandan operations and confirmed the continuation of its Twiga Fresh farming vertical. The affected employees across all markets are to receive severance packages in compliance with labor laws.
