Listed agribusiness firm Kakuzi is accelerating its diversification strategy, leveraging strong avocado profits to expand into higher-value export products and mitigate rising global risks.

• Kakuzi's profits nearly doubled to Sh 709 million in 2025, largely driven by a 23 per cent increase in avocado production and exports.
• Kakuzi, led by Chairman Nicholas Ng’ang’a and Managing Director Chris Flowers, is diversifying into blueberries and value-added avocado derivatives.
• The company aims to counter geopolitical risks and market volatility by expanding its product portfolio beyond fresh produce exports.
