The Core Problem

Value Leakage is Destroying
Rural Economies

Most rural economies suffer from chronic value leakage—raw resources are exported at pennies while finished goods and profits never return. Rural social enterprises remain trapped in subsistence cycles despite abundant production.

!

Post-Harvest Losses

Up to 40% value loss due to storage deficits

!

Middleman Extraction

Informal intermediaries capture 60-70% of final value

!

Processing Gaps

Raw material export with zero local industrialization

The Muazu Solution

We build institutional-grade infrastructure that allows rural social enterprises to capture and retain value at every stage of the Supply chain.

  • Data infrastructure for Funder’s confidence
  • Market systems that retain local value
  • Structured pathways from subsistence to prosperity
How We Work

The Muazu Operational Model

A systematic approach to transforming rural social enterprises from commodity sellers to value-retaining market players.

1

Map & Identify

We identify high-potential rural social enterprises operating in isolation from formal markets, conducting deep structural audits of their value chains.

Output: RSE Discovery
2

Build Infrastructure

We create institutional-grade data systems that allow funders to assess rural social enterprise risk and opportunity with precision.

Output: Funder-Ready Data
3

Structure Markets

We design downstream market systems ensuring that value created in rural communities is captured and retained locally, not extracted.

Output: Value Retention
Our Methodology

A structured 6-stage pipeline that identifies value leakage points and transforms rural social enterprises into institutional-grade market players.

Stage 01

Insight & Discovery

Mapping value leakage patterns and identifying grassroots economic activity with high retention potential through field research and community engagement.

Key Activities
  • • Field surveys across 774 LGAs
  • • Value chain deficit mapping
  • • Enterprise discovery protocols

Where Value Leaks

Systemic deficits force rural enterprises to surrender value. Click each stage to see leakage points and our structural interventions.

Leakage Point

Production Inefficiencies

RSEs often lose up to 40% of value through poor post-harvest handling and a lack of on-site storage assets.

Muazu Structural Fix

Downstream Asset Financing

Connecting RSEs to decentralized storage and harvest infrastructure to stabilize margins.

The Muazu Difference

We’re not another development program—we’re a structural intervention platform.

Systemic Focus vs Production Focus

Most programs focus on increasing production. We focus on market value retention—ensuring that increased output translates to increased local wealth, not just more extracted commodities.

From commodity seller to value partner

Institutional Data vs Anecdotes

We replace vague impact stories with institutional-grade rural deficit data, making rural enterprises visible and investable to serious capital providers.
