Kennemer Foods International, Inc. (KFI) is a Philippine agribusiness company specializing in sustainable growing, sourcing, and trading high-quality agricultural crops such as fermented cacao beans from smallholder farmers. KFI’s products and programs encompass the complete agricultural value chain from planting materials, training, and agri-technology to market. KFI is committed to developing rural communities by promoting market transparency, providing fair value pricing for produce, boosting farmer productivity, and implementing sustainable farming practices. Established in 2010, Kennemer started out as a buying and post-harvest center in Davao. Kennemer soon realized there was insufficient volume of quality cacao beans in the Philippines. Farmers were farming in an environment characterized by old trees, inadequate knowledge, and technology, especially in good agricultural practices, pest and disease management, lack of access to affordable financing, lack of technical support, and market access limitations. Consequently, there was almost zero planting of cocoa trees in the Philippines a few years ago due to the lack of motivation of farmers brought by these limitations. Since then, Kennemer has expanded its offerings to encompass the complete agricultural value chain from planting materials, training, and agri-technology to linking to export markets.
