Happiness through Quality Food for Everyone…
Fresh Fish
We aim to ensure a stable supply of high quality fresh fish caught along the Kenyan Coast in cooperation with local fishermen.
Kenya has a coastline of 480km along the Indian Ocean. The sea is rich and one of the leading fishing grounds for yellowfin tuna. There are many other fish which are also found in the southern seas of Japan. However, the seafood culture is very poor even in the coastal region. Needless to say, there is no raw food culture. The fishery has not been developed enough and awareness of freshness is low. Nairobi, which is the capital of consumption, is located 500km inland and although there is a well-developed national road, the cold chain itself has not been developed.

Japonica Rice
We aim to achieve high quality Japanese rice cultivation and stable supply in cooperation with rice farmers in Kenya
In 2016, we began contract cultivation in the rural area of ??Mwea, located south of Mount Kenya. With the support of JICA, a system of irrigation has been in use for a long time in this area, and support for cultivation has also been provided to farmers. The farmers here cultivate long grain rice (fragrant basmati).
The contract cultivation was triggered by the voice of a JICA rice expert who was working in Mwea. More than 10 years ago, Koshihikari seeds were brought in for research purposes, but their quality had deteriorated after being left for many years. Screening for quality was conducted by the expert, and he provided us with the best products. At the same time, he also introduced us to a rice farmer who had been trained in cultivation. We have continued to grow together since then.

KAI means a fateful meeting.
We work with producers to find better ways to get food to the table and provide safe,
secure and delicious food.
