Murang'a County · Central Highlands, Kenya
Nothing wasted.
Everything valued.
Wachomi Foods is building a zero-waste avocado processing plant in Murang'a County, Kenya. Cold-pressed oil for food and cosmetics. Butter, fertiliser and clean fuel from everything else.
Now in development. First pressing targeted for May 2027.
What we'll make
One fruit. Four products at launch.
Zero waste.
1 fruit
Ripe Hass, in from the orchard
Compost loops back to the farms that grew the fruit
Extra virgin avocado oil
Cold-pressed, culinary and cosmetic grades, bulk and bottled.
Avocado butter
Cosmetic-grade, for skincare and haircare formulators.
Organic fertiliser
Composted press cake, sold back to our supplying farmers below retail.
Biomass briquettes
Seeds and skins, dried and pressed. They power our own dryers first.
Avocado ingredients — phase two
Seed powder and fruit powder lines to follow once the oil line runs at steady state.
Where
The right corridor for avocados.
Our plant will sit in the Kenol–Maragua–Sagana corridor of Murang'a County — the heart of Kenya's smallholder Hass belt. We source directly from farmer networks coordinated with KENAFF, with traceability from orchard to press.
