Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya - FPC KENYA

The Leading Fresh Produce Trade Association in Kenya

The UK market is open. The question is whether Kenyan produce will lead or follow.

Amb. Maurice Makoloo, Kenya High Commissioner to the UK & North Ireland, is joining Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya - FPC KENYA members for an exclusive strategic session on exactly that.

Why this matters for the community? Kenya's fresh produce sector is at a pivotal moment. The UK market offers significant opportunity, but only for those who understand the standards, build the right partnerships, and move with intention.

What we're unpacking together:
→ Positioning Kenyan Products - Building a trusted, premium presence aligned with UK standards
→ Scaling by 2030 - Streamlining supply chains, compliance, and investment partnerships
→ Navigating Together - Leveraging FPC Kenya collective strength and High Commission support to unlock market access and secure long-term trade frameworks

This is about more than one meeting. It's about building the infrastructure, relationships, and frameworks that make Kenyan produce competitive and respected on UK shelves.

Our voice matters. Our product matters. Let's navigate this market together.
