Kakuzi Plc reported a 14.9% drop in net profit to KSh 295.5 million for the half-year ended June 30, 2025, despite a sharp 28.6% increase in revenue to KSh 1.51 billion. The profit decline was primarily due to weaker avocado valuations and lower tea prices, while macadamia and blueberry operations saw improved performance.

• Avocado earnings significantly decreased to KSh 395 million from KSh 951 million.
• Kakuzi Plc Managing Director Chris Flowers noted international avocado markets were well supplied and supply chain challenges were stabilizing.
• The macadamia division’s profit surged to KSh 319 million from KSh 32 million, supported by buoyant global demand.
