Foodstuff & Beverages

Nairobi, Kenya

Frigoken Ltd. (FKL) is the largest export-oriented vegetable processing company in East Africa, engaging thousands of small scale farmers in its value chain. We aim to be a global leader of choice for the supply of premium horticultural produce, specializing in value added and niche market products while forging a better future for local farmers. We produce all year round, conform to internationally recognised food and safety standards; assuring customers of quality, traceability, reliability and service.

Established in 1989 as a provider of premium quality products, Frigoken Ltd is a member of the Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) group of companies, which is in turn a member of the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development (AKFED). AKFED is an international development agency that promotes private sector entrepreneurship in the developing world, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South-east Asia. Currently Kenya's largest producer of processed vegetables, Frigoken's customers include a broad range of leading European companies, supermarket chains, as well as one of the largest vegetable processors in Europe.

AKFED is also affiliated to the Aga Khan Development Network, an organisation dedicated to improving human living conditions, strengthening cultural foundations and promoting corporate social responsibility. 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. 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.
