Milling & Grains – INVESTMENTS, FUNDING & M&A

Kenya’s heavy dependence on imported rice is creating a major opportunity for domestic farmers and processors, with a new market-led private-sector initiative seeking to expand production, strengthen post-harvest handling and increase local milling capacity.

The initiative, implemented primarily through Primary Agricultural Credit Societies (PACS), aims to reduce post-harvest losses, lower transportation costs, improve farmers’ access to storage, and strengthen the country’s food-security system.

The facility is expected to strengthen LDC’s logistics capabilities and support more efficient grain supply chains in one of Pakistan’s major agricultural regions.

The deal expands Kalmbach’s direct access to local grain supplies and strengthens the company’s broader investments across feed, pet food, and ingredient manufacturing and distribution.

The newly commissioned plant has a processing capacity of 10 tonnes per hour (tph) and is engineered to produce compound feed rations for poultry, ruminants, and other livestock sectors.
