Professional Experience

From its humble inception in 2018 the Food Production and Processing Complex (FPPC), FPPC became a trailblazer in the agribusiness sector. Under Felista's stewardship, the company diversified into various activities such as grape drying, vegetable production, livestock keeping, and even providing community water supply from a borehole. More than that, FPPC became a source of empowerment for the community, providing training in good agronomic practices, post-harvest handling, and entrepreneurship skills.

Her research highlighted raisins’ nutrient-rich nature, low glycemic index, high shelf life, and suitability for diabetics, weight losers, high blood pressure patients, and pregnant and nursing mothers.
