More than 1,500 foreign buyers will be added to AFRICA Mega Agricultural Corp PLC’s digital commodities trading platform at Gulfood Dubai.
According to management, the Nairobi Securities Exchange-listed firm, which was previously Kenya Orchards Ltd, would use the agreement to increase agricultural exporters in Kenya and East Africa’s access to international markets.
The deal, which was signed in Dubai, helps the corporation achieve its objective of making the city the main location for re-exporting African agricultural products, settling transactions, and aggregating foreign buyers.
Abraham Ng’etich, the CEO of AMAC, stated that the transaction is an important part of the company’s global expansion plan.
“This agreement speeds up our efforts to attract more global buyer participation on our platform and sharpen price discovery for African agricultural exports,” stated Ng’etich.
“By anchoring buyer aggregation and settlement through Dubai, we are building a scalable, finance-ready marketplace that boosts liquidity while effectively managing counterparty and settlement risk for all participants.”
In the upcoming weeks, the platform’s operational rollout and new buyer onboarding are anticipated to start. Through standardised digital procedures, AMAC’s integrated agriculture trade platform links institutional buyers, financial institutions, logistics companies, and approved exporters. By combining compliance, collateral management, settlement controls, and trade data, the platform enables organised trading in fresh produce, long-life agricultural exports, food imports, and domestic Fast-Moving Consumer Goods distribution.
Through a fully registered subsidiary that facilitates escrow services, warehousing, and re-export capabilities for foreign markets, the corporation keeps a presence in Dubai.
