The company hosted the 10th edition of its Business of Food workshop in Benin, which focused on empowering and uniting over 200 female industry experts, restaurant operators, seasoned chefs, culinary school students, street food vendors, caterers, and grillers.

Recognising their vital role in serving their communities, the workshop provided participants with free hands-on training in culinary techniques, menu development, customer engagement, and hygiene best practices, along with the resources necessary to thrive in their businesses.

In line with the theme ‘Accelerate Action’ for International Women’s Day, this initiative underscores the urgent need to empower women and drive gender equality in the food industry, enabling them to take meaningful steps towards success and community impact.

Speaking at the event, Business manager for Nestlé Professional in Nigeria, Funmi Osineye stated, “food vendors play a vital role in providing essential nutrition to their communities. Over the course of 10 editions of this workshop in various states, we have received numerous testimonials, particularly from women whose businesses have experienced significant growth.
