📋 About Kakuzi PLC
Kakuzi PLC is a listed Kenyan agricultural company with roots dating back to 1927, engaged in the cultivation, processing, and marketing of avocados, blueberries, macadamia, tea, livestock, and commercial forestry. The company is dual-listed on both the Nairobi Securities Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, and is a subsidiary of UK-based agricultural holding company Camellia Plc. Kakuzi operates from two main locations in Kenya — its headquarters and primary horticultural operations at Makuyu, along Punda Milia Road in Thika, and its tea estates situated in Nandi Hills, 330 km northwest of Nairobi in the Rift Valley region.
Kakuzi controls its value chain from seedling to fork, ensuring full traceability and consistently high-quality produce for both local and international markets, with a strong focus on avocado and macadamia exports to Europe and an expanding push into China, India, and North America. The company reported a full-year FY2025 profit of KSh 387.5 million and paid a KSh 16.00 per share dividend, double the prior year. Beyond agriculture, Kakuzi operates the Kakuzi Market and Boran Barn at its Makuyu estate, offering fresh produce, grass-fed beef nyama choma, and a coffee shop open to the public, alongside a growing private-label consumer product range including honey-coated macadamia, macadamia flour, and cold-pressed macadamia oil.

⭐ Reviews & Ratings
Kakuzi is praised by investors for consistent agricultural exports and dividends, by smallholder farmers for training partnerships, and by visitors to the Boran Barn and Kakuzi Market for quality farm-to-table produce and a relaxing family day out.
“Took my family to Boran Barn for Easter and it was a lovely experience. The nyama choma was some of the best grass-fed beef I’ve had, and the kids loved the play area. Highly recommend for a weekend outing from Nairobi.”
“I ordered the honey-coated macadamia and cold-pressed macadamia oil for the first time and they’re excellent. Great to see a company with this much history producing quality consumer products for the local market too.”
“Have held Kakuzi shares for a few years. The dividend history has generally been positive though performance is subject to global macadamia and avocado price swings, so it can be volatile year to year. Still a well-managed agri stock overall.”
“Through the Siaya County partnership with Kakuzi, I received technical training on avocado farming that has really improved my yields. It’s opening opportunities for farmers like me beyond the traditional Murang’a growing region.”
