Small Scale production: world-class support
Frigoken is a unique operation, delivering both commercial excellence
and community benefit. Our 'out grower' force of 20,000 small-scale
Kenyan farmers, cultivates a network of small, individually owned
plots, throughout Kenya. They are supported, however, by the world-class
infrastructure, technical expertise, global marketing strength and
distribution networks of a major internationally focused company.
The end result is a high quality, well presented, competitive, premium
product...and a better tomorrow for Kenya's farmers.
Freshness guaranteed
Our vegetables are handpicked daily and taken to one of the 'Frigoken
Collection Centres' located in rural areas, where they are quality
inspected before transit to our Nairobi factory. Here they are processed
in the shortest time possible so as to ensure their freshness is
guaranteed.
Year-round supply, unlimited production
Thanks to the superb Kenyan climate, our year-round production capacity
can be tailored to suit any pre-determined customer schedule. This
means our customers can benefit from operating at optimum stock
levels.
Versatility of range and market flexibility
We have the flexibility to process any kind of premium Kenyan horticultural
produce, which includes the very best 'classical variety' extra-fine
French green beans (Haricots Verts), snow peas, baby corn, cornichons
and gherkins to name but a few. We can also process tropical fruits.
