A leading multi-value-chain agribusiness connecting Tanzania's highland farmers to markets across East and Southern Africa.
Kilawa Enterprises Limited is a leading agricultural company specializing in agro-inputs, agro-chemicals, and multiple crop value chains — including rice, Irish potato, maize, soya beans and beans. With a strong presence in Tanzania's central and southern highlands, we deliver high-quality agricultural products and services to farmers and markets across East and Southern Africa.
Established in 2010, we operate eight input stores (5,000MT fertilizer capacity), cultivate 200 hectares of farmland in Rungwe and Makete, and work with over 12,000 smallholder farmers.
To be a leading company in agricultural activities and services, excelling in innovation, sustainability, and measurable impact across the region.
To provide quality agricultural services, increase productivity, and improve community livelihoods through sustainable, farmer-first practices.
“When a farmer in our highlands succeeds, the whole region grows with them. That belief has guided Kilawa from a single store to a value chain spanning thousands of farms.”
Since 2010, our focus has never wavered: put quality inputs in farmers' hands, buy their harvest fairly, and add value close to where it's grown. From certified seed and fertilizer to our own rice processing plant and logistics fleet, every part of Kilawa exists to make farming more productive and more dignified.
