Kenyan nuts & oilseeds for the Germany market

German bakery, muesli and chocolate manufacturers buy macadamia pieces, cashew kernels and organic sesame; duty-free under the Kenya–EU EPA.

Macadamia grows on smallholdings across the central highlands and is cracked, sorted and graded in licensed processing plants that meet international food-safety standards. Kenyan regulations restrict the export of raw in-shell macadamia and require value addition, so we primarily supply graded kernels.

Buyers we serve in Germany: Snack manufacturers, nut processors, food-ingredient companies, oil millers and wholesalers.

Import requirements & trade terms for Germany

Kenyan goods enter the EU duty-free and quota-free under the Kenya–EU Economic Partnership Agreement (in force since July 2024). Food imports must meet EU maximum residue levels (MRLs); coffee and other in-scope commodities need EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) due-diligence data, including farm geolocation.
