Two Fulanis — Fuel Your Day the Fonio Way

Our Story

From Guinea's Fields
to Your Kitchen

Two Fulanis is the consumer brand of Two Fulanis, founded in Guinea — the world's leading producer of fonio. Our mission is to bring this exceptional grain to international tables while keeping its roots firmly in the communities that have grown it for generations.

The brand is named for its two Fulani sisters: Oumou Sow, who leads operations from Guinea and the United States, and Saran Sow, who drives international markets from Dubai and across Asia. Together they combine deep agricultural knowledge with global business reach.

Our fonio is grown on our own farmland in the Fouta Djallon and Faranah Region of Guinea, harvested by hand, then cleaned, steamed, dried and packaged in our fully operational processing facility in Forécariah — all to international food safety standards.

Our Farm in Guinea

From the Fields of the Fouta Djallon & Faranah Region

Our 20+ hectares of farmland in the Fouta Djallon and Faranah Region of Guinea produce some of the finest fonio in the world — harvested by hand, processed in our state-of-the-art facility in Forécariah, and packed for your table.

Step 1 — Harvest

Our farmers hand-harvest ripe fonio stalks during the dry season in the Fouta Djallon and Faranah Region.

Step 2 — Bundle & Dry

Stalks are bundled and sun-dried in the field before threshing — a critical step for clean, odour-free grain.

Step 3 — Thresh & Clean

Threshed grain is brought to our facility where it is cleaned, stone-free and odour-free, ready for steaming and packaging.
