Our Core Products and Services

OUR SERVICES

Commodity Trading

We specialize in soft commodities, including maize, beans, red finger millet, sunflower, and more. Agricultural commodities are susceptible to market dynamics and price fluctuations, which can be dramatic and unpredictable. VIL, in collaboration with CMX is introducing Commodities Futures and Derivatives as an innovative solution for commodity trading. We will connect farmers, brokers, traders, agro-processors, and financial institutions through our state-of-the-art trading platform, ensuring seamless, cross-border trading. Our commitment to innovation and integrity ensures that we meet the evolving needs of the commodities market

Value Chain Solutions

This refers to our full range of activities and stakeholders involved in the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of agricultural products, from farm to factory. The value chain encompasses all the interconnected steps and actors that contribute to bringing agricultural goods from producers to agro-processors. We help provide robust solutions for agro-processors to optimize their raw material intake and financial management. VIL, in collaboration with its financial partners, has launched the Farmer First Program (FFP). FFP aims to transform the agri value chain by focusing on farmers receiving a fair value for their hard work.

Strategic Advisory

In a rapidly evolving agricultural landscape, collaboration and innovation are key to maximizing productivity and profitability. At VIL, we are dedicated to driving agricultural industrial development by providing comprehensive strategic advisory services across end-to-end agro value chains. Our goal is simple: to empower every player in the agricultural ecosystem - from farmers to manufacturers -to unlock their full potential. Many farmers struggle to access markets and maximize their yields. Simultaneously, manufacturers face challenges in sourcing quality raw materials consistently. We believe that by bridging these gaps through strategic partnerships, we can enhance the agricultural value chain and ensure that all stakeholders benefit.

Contract Manufacturing

VIL provides B2B manufacturing solutions to enable MSMEs manufacture their products utilizing existing manufacturing facilities. Clients do not need to invest in their own manufacturing facility, equipment and staff. Rather, VIL provides them with Manufacturing-As-A-Service. Contract manufacturing allows our clients to focus less on production and concentrate more on their core competencies, reducing overheads and manufacturing expenses.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURING

Dear Kenyan Entrepreneurs,
Are you ready to take the bold step into the dynamic world of manufacturing but worried about the high costs associated with machinery and factory setups? At Visible Industries Ltd, we understand the challenges many Kenyan businesses face when looking to expand into the manufacturing sector. That's why we've tailored our services to provide you with a seamless entry into manufacturing, through Contract Manufacturing, without the burden of heavy investments in plant and machinery.

Kenya boasts a wealth of untapped potential, with approximately 40% of manufacturing capacity sitting idle. By joining the manufacturing sector, you can not only contribute to the growth of our economy but also position your business for significant profit. VIL understands the competition for unbeatable prices, exceptional products, and customer loyalty, our companies must continually examine the value they create to retain their competitive advantage. Having a functional and an effective value chain helps a company to discern areas of its business that are inefficient, and then implement strategies that will optimize its procedures for maximum efficiency and profitability.

VIL understands the manufacturing sector and we help traders/investors in creating a unified operating model and focusing on cost engineering from an early stage of product development. This helps them realize valuable, new opportunities and unlock profits along the way. Today, global competition, technology advancements, industry deregulation and increasing customer expectations are only a few factors that are placing unprecedented demands on business enterprises.

FARM TO FACTORY (F2F) PROGRAM

The Farm to Factory (F2F) program is a transformative initiative designed to enhance agricultural value chains in Kenya through a private sector-led approach. In response to the nation’s heavy reliance on imports for essential staple crops—such as soybeans, millet, yellow maize, wheat, white maize, and rice—F2F seeks to localize production and create a sustainable agricultural ecosystem that empowers small-scale farmers. With an alarming import bill of approximately KES 500 billion in 2022, the opportunity for impactful change is both evident and urgent. PAGE 7 The F2F initiative aims to revolutionize agricultural practices by enhancing livelihoods and reducing post-harvest losses. By engaging small-scale farmers in the production of crops such as yellow maize, finger millet, soybeans, and Nyota beans, we aim to create long-lasting market linkages through pre-arranged off-take agreements with leading Agro-processors in Kenya. Our multifaceted objectives emphasize the need to build a resilient market system that fosters local production and supports agricultural sustainability. We are committed to empowering farmers not only through direct access to markets and resources but also by providing comprehensive training, financial innovations, and guaranteed off-take contracts. By adopting a structured approach that combines market research, farmer mobilization, input provision, and supply chain optimization, we will ensure a holistic transformation of agricultural value chains.
