Twiga Fruits is committed to working with farmers to grow delicious fruit for people to enjoy. Their philosophy is that consumers appreciate knowing that the high quality fruits on their table come from a supply chain that fairly treats farmers and it’s their job to provide that bridge. Twiga Fruits is a progressive leader in Kenya’s fruit industry. With a conviction that domestic fruit sales and foreign exports should serve as a backbone of Kenya’s economy, Twiga Fruits is built around a team of reformers with over 80 collective years of agronomic and supply chain experience. In Kenya’s growing urban dwellings, Twiga Fruits is lowering prices by building distribution networks that beat the costly informal networks of layers of middlemen and brokers. When they say “Better Produce, Better Prices,” they mean it. There is no reason Kenyan fruit should cost as much in Nairobi as Dubai. For export markets, Twiga Fruits is raising standards through being the market leader in digitized traceability of products. Twiga Fruits treats all their farmers for what they are: professionals. As a company policy, Twiga Fruits differentiates itself by refusing to work with third-party “brokers”: traders who dominate the Kenyan fruit trade, profiting on farmers’ limited access to markets by buying at exploitatively prices, paying weeks later, and selling on to the local markets and exporters. Twiga Fruits instead buys directly from the farmer, and they believe a farmer deserves to get paid immediately for any produce he sells. They make sure their farmers receive the technical support to increase production levels, meet global quality standards, and seek credit to expand their operations. It’s not only the right thing to do: it’s good for the farmer, for us, for Kenya, and for consumers.
