Kakuzi Limited, a prominent player in Kenya’s agricultural sector, is one of the oldest and largest agricultural companies in East and Central Africa. Specializing in the cultivation, processing, and marketing of avocados, macadamia nuts, blueberries, tea, pineapples, and livestock, Kakuzi has grown into a leader in the industry with a significant footprint beyond Kenya’s borders.

With 930 hectares dedicated to avocado farming, 1,356 hectares for macadamia nuts, and 10 hectares for blueberries, Kakuzi’s agricultural operations are extensive.

The company’s forestry division, covering 1,500 hectares, produces various timber products, including treated poles, gates, and heat-treated pallets. Additionally, Kakuzi’s livestock operation manages a herd of 4,420 animals, providing halaal beef and other products.

“Kakuzi’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and quality products has set us apart in the industry,” said Christopher Flowers, Managing Director of Kakuzi Plc.

“Our success in exporting over three million cartons of avocados in 2023 is a testament to our dedication to operational efficiency and market expansion.”

Despite challenges in the global market, particularly a decline in demand for macadamia nuts, Kakuzi remains resilient. In 2023, the company recorded a pre-tax profit of KES 664 million, a decrease from KES 1,221.6 million in the previous year. However, the avocado sector performed exceptionally well, generating a pre-tax profit of KES 1.4 billion.

“Kakuzi is not just about agriculture; it’s about responsible farming and community engagement,” emphasized Flowers. The company’s initiatives in environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility continue to be a core part of its strategy.

Kakuzi’s strategic focus on product diversification is evident in its expansion into new markets like India and Malaysia, offering promising avenues for future growth.

“We are optimistic about the recovery in the macadamia market and remain committed to delivering high-quality, environmentally responsible products,” Flowers added.
