Our Process
From Farm to Global Markets
Our vertically-integrated supply chain ensures complete traceability, consistent quality, and reliable delivery from the farms of Mount Kenya to buyers worldwide.
Step by Step
Sourcing & Procurement
Raw nut-in-shell is sourced directly from thousands of smallholder farmers across the fertile volcanic slopes of Mount Kenya, ensuring full traceability from orchard to factory gate.
Intake & Quality Check
Incoming nuts are weighed and inspected at our FSSC 22000 certified facility in Muthara, Meru County. Foreign matter is removed and moisture levels are assessed on arrival.
☀️ Drying
Nut-in-shell is carefully dried under controlled conditions to achieve moisture levels <2.0%, preserving kernel integrity and extending shelf life.
Cracking & Kernel Recovery
Precision cracking equipment separates kernels from shells with minimal damage, maximising whole-kernel recovery rates and reducing waste.
🔍 Grading & Sorting
Kernels are graded by size, colour, and quality into commercial styles. Kernel size is ≥16 mm, yielding 95% premium wholes and 5% halves — meeting international buyer specifications.
Quality Control Testing
Every batch undergoes full laboratory testing for moisture content, free fatty acids, peroxide value, and microbiological safety before release. All results are documented for traceability.
Packaging
Premium kernels are weighed (11.34 Kgs / 25 pounds) in food-grade aluminium pouches, nitrogen-flushed, vacuum-sealed and put into cartons for protecting the quality in the warehouse and transit.
🌐 Export Documentation & Dispatch
Shipments are accompanied by Certificates of Analysis, phytosanitary certificates, and all required export documentation. Goods are dispatched via Mombasa port or JKIA to markets worldwide.
