Kakuzi Blueberry Production Expands as Company Breaks Ground on 30-Acre Greenhouse
Kakuzi has broken ground on a 30-acre greenhouse development as the company expands its commercial blueberry production.

Kakuzi is expanding its blueberry production after strong results from its pilot orchards, with the company breaking ground on a 30-acre greenhouse development dedicated to the crop.

The expansion marks a major step in Kakuzi’s diversification strategy as the agricultural company moves to scale up blueberry production following improved yields and positive financial results.

As of June 2026, Kakuzi’s blueberry production had reached 42,000 kilograms, compared with 8,400 kilograms during the same period in 2025. The sharp increase highlights the performance of the company’s pilot blueberry orchards and provides the basis for further investment in the crop.

The blueberry venture also generated a half-year profit of KSh 13 million, strengthening the case for expanding production capacity.

The new 30-acre greenhouse development will provide additional production space as Kakuzi moves from pilot-scale production towards a larger commercial operation.

The development also places blueberries alongside macadamia and avocado as Kakuzi’s third commercial superfood crop.

Blueberries have attracted growing interest among commercial farmers in Kenya due to opportunities in fresh produce markets and rising demand for high-value fruit. The crop also offers farmers an alternative to traditional agricultural enterprises where suitable production conditions and markets exist.

For Kakuzi, the expansion forms part of a broader strategy to diversify revenue sources and increase the contribution of high-value crops to its business.

The company’s results from the pilot orchards provide an important foundation for the greenhouse investment. Production increased fivefold between June 2025 and June 2026, while the venture moved into profitability.

The 30-acre development is expected to increase Kakuzi’s blueberry production capacity and strengthen its position in Kenya’s growing high-value fruit sector.

The expansion also highlights the increasing role of controlled-environment agriculture in commercial fruit production. Greenhouse production gives growers greater control over key production conditions and allows them to manage crop performance more closely.

Kakuzi’s investment adds blueberries to a portfolio of high-value agricultural enterprises that already includes macadamia and avocado.

The company’s move to scale blueberry production follows the strong performance recorded during the pilot phase and signals increased confidence in the crop as a commercial revenue stream.

For Kenya’s horticulture sector, the development also points to continued investment in high-value fruit production as commercial growers seek crops with strong market opportunities and potential for revenue diversification.
