strategies to competitive
We offer market-entry advisory (strategy, regulatory and licensing, partner sourcing, local representation, and market intelligence) and commodity export — coffee, tea, macadamia, avocado, sesame, and pulses — from East Africa to 18 destination markets.
We are headquartered in Nairobi and work across the East African Community — Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, and Rwanda — with export operations through the Port of Mombasa and a regional office in Kampala.
It starts with a feasibility assessment: demand, competition, pricing, and regulation. From there we design your route to market, handle company formation and licensing, and introduce vetted partners — staying beside your team through first contracts.
Most clients go from feasibility study to first signed distributor or first shipment within four to nine months, depending on sector licensing requirements. We agree milestones up front and report progress against them every step of the way.
Yes. We source graded commodities from vetted producer networks and ship FOB or CIF on schedules aligned to harvest seasons, with quality certificates and full export documentation included.
