Kenya Nut was established in 1974 in the Kenyan highlands with a focus on growing and processing quality macadamia and cashew nuts. Our product portfolio has since grown to include coffee, tea, chocolates, oil, wine and beef, marketed under four brands: Out of Africa, Nutfields, Leleshwa and Morendat. With over 2,000 employees, the Company operates seven farms on over 8,000 acres, with a complete production system that yields ready-for-sale products for both local and international markets. Our vision is “To be the brand of choice in Africa,” and this is reflected in our philosophy: to provide a superior quality product through careful cultivation and modern processing techniques. We strive to live out this philosophy in a friendly working environment through transparent and fair relationships with all our stakeholders.

This past Mashujaa Day 20/10/2024, we had a session with some of our outgrowers who are thriving in Macadamia farming. Worth recognition is that the majority of the outgrowers are female who are at the front line of agricultural development. Meet Esther, one of our Shujaa who through patience and resilience has been able to plant about 200 Macadamia trees and looks forward to a bountiful harvest. She nurtures not only the soil but also the soul of her community.#realshujaa . . #mashujaaday #agriculture #kenyanutcompany #jubileeyear #macadamiafarming #kenya #africa

Ever wondered what takes place in a Macadamia curing facility. This is a specialized facility where freshly harvested macadamia nuts undergo a controlled drying and curing process to reduce their moisture content. The facility is crucial for preserving the nuts quality, preventing mould growth and enhancing their shelf life, flavour and texture. . . #macadamiafarming #jubileeyear #kenyanutco #knc@50 #macadamiacuring #africa #kenya

Macadamia grading, packaging and labeling is amongst the last processes in the factory. Before this step the nuts have undergone various stages in a factory such as cracking, sorting and grading. It's been 50yrs since we started Macadamia production and our biggest achievement has been employment opportunities that we've been able to create for the community at large. . . #knc@50 #jubileeyear #macadamiafarming #kenya #africa

On one of our random visits to the farm we met Magdalene who is one of our many outgrowers. We were keen to know on how her journey has been with us as an outgrower, and what has kept her coming back for the many years. For the past 50 years this August marking exactly 50, we have been supporting outgrowers also commonly known as small scale farmers, who grow Macadamia Nuts on their own farms. This has been through; providing free technical expertise or knowledge, selling fertilizers and seedlings propageted at our nursery at an affordable price. We in turn buy their harvest to enable them access the broader market. . . #knc@50 #jubileeyear #madein1974 #macadamiafarming #kenya
