Our Story
Kennie-O Cold Chain Logistics (KCCL) is an indigenous company that specializes in preserving the natural nutrients of fruits, vegetables and animal products in Nigeria by providing excellent end-to-end cold chain and logistics services for the fresh foods sector.
The Problem
KCCL was established as a response to a major business challenge we encountered in 2013. Prior to this, we ran a broiler production and processing business that supplied over 5 tons of frozen chicken per batch to major Nigerian chain stores. However, we experienced poor cold chain and logistics services from our service providers at our peak profit period and encountered a major loss that led to the business going bankrupt. Consequently, we learnt from the experience, leveraged insights from market surveys and commenced
The Goal
In Nigeria, over 45% of our fruits and vegetables production valued at $9Bn are wasted annually. (Source FAO/FIIRO 2013). This is a leading cause of hunger, malnutrition and under nutrition in Nigeria with an estimated market population of over 198 million people. Our goal at KCCL is to service 5% of this market in the next 5 years.
