We believe that economic growth and job creation are not just results—they are responsibilities. Our mission as a macadamia and avocado export company is rooted in a deeper purpose: to empower communities, create meaningful employment, and stimulate rural economies, in line with the global aspirations of Sustainable Development Goal 8 (SDG 8) and our company mantra ‘WEALTH FOR ALL‘.
Creating Opportunities Across the Value Chain
From smallholder macadamia and avocado farmers in the highlands of Embu to our growing team of sorters, processors, quality control experts, drivers, and logistics staff, we have built a value chain that supports livelihoods at every level.
We:
- Buy directly from farmers at competitive, fair prices
- Provide seasonal and permanent employment in rural areas
- Offer on-the-job training and skill development for staff
- Encourage inclusive hiring, including youth and women participation
- Work with local partners and cooperatives to ensure shared growth
Our impact reaches well beyond our facility; it touches families, uplifts villages, and creates long-term income stability for communities that have often been overlooked by global trade.
Encouraging Youth Participation in Agribusiness
Kenya has a vibrant, energetic youth population. At Edited Facta, we are actively involving young people in agribusiness by:
- Offering employment in sorting, grading, and logistics
- Supporting tech-driven agriculture and innovation
- Providing mentorship and exposure to international trade dynamics
By doing so, we’re tackling youth unemployment, one of Kenya’s most pressing socio-economic challenges.
Scaling With Purpose: Economic Growth Rooted in Responsibility
Our exports to China, Europe, and other global markets have steadily grown—but so has our responsibility. We are scaling our operations while maintaining:
- Ethical labor standards
- Safe and fair working conditions
- Environmental responsibility
- Transparent operations
The construction of our upcoming Gatondo processing facility will boost production capacity while creating more local jobs, expanding the reach of economic benefits even further.
Resilience and Post-COVID Recovery
In a post-COVID world, economic recovery must be inclusive. By strengthening farmer networks, offering stable purchasing prices, and maintaining export momentum, we have positioned ourselves as a pillar of rural recovery in our region.
Why SDG 8 Is Central to Our Mission
Sustainable job creation and inclusive growth are not side effects of our business—they are central pillars. As Edited Facta continues to grow, our commitment to decent work and economic growth remains unshaken.
We aim to:
- Enhance productivity through innovation
- Promote full and productive employment
- Support entrepreneurship and skill-building
- Uplift the economic fabric of farming communities
Join us in building a better tomorrow—where every macadamia nut and avocado we export represents a job, a dream, and a stronger economy.
