Milling & Grains – LATEST NEWS

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.

Kamm succeeds Zachary Carr, who has moved into the role of chairman of the board and will continue providing strategic guidance and oversight as the company enters its next phase of development.

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 operational shift follows temporary shutdowns across major southern export facilities, including grain terminals.
