Site Visits: Day 4 of the German-Kenya Food Processing and Packaging Delegation - Kenya!

This visit offers a comprehensive look at Bidco Africa's extensive operations, which encompass edible oils, fats, food & beverages, and even hygiene and personal care products. It's fascinating to observe their integrated supply chain, from sourcing raw materials from thousands of local farmers, a testament to their commitment to local communities, to their advanced manufacturing processes and broad distribution networks across multiple African countries. This provides invaluable insight into large-scale production and market reach within the East African context.
