Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) listed agribusiness firm Kakuzi Plc has posted a Sh295.5 million net profit in its half-year trading results.
Within the period under review, Kakuzi’s total revenue grew to Sh1.51 billion, up from Sh1.17 billion realised within the same period last year.
Speaking when he confirmed the half-year 2025 trading results, Kakuzi Managing Director Chris Flowers said the firm has adopted strategic operating strategies to facilitate growth within a challenging operating environment.
“The year-to-date trading in our two core crops is in line with expectations. The international avocado market has been well supplied, with price levels reflecting this situation,” Flowers said.
“The earlier experienced shipping route challenges are also beginning to stabilise with an increasing number of voyages returning to the Red Sea routing.”
Commenting on the firm’s flagship crop performance, the avocado divisional trading results, he said, had realised a half-year profit of Sh395 million compared to a half-year profit of Sh951 million posted in 2024, primarily because of a lower crop valuation in 2025.
