Wish Kenya Limited processes macadamia nuts, cashew nuts, and local nuts into kernels and high-value products (cookies, macadamia oil) which it sells in international and local markets. The company works with approximately 600 smallholder farmers through a network of agents operating across the various macadamia growing regions. The Company's processing facilities are strategically located in Thika, due to its proximity to the macadamia growing regions, making it a focal point for numerous macadamia processors in the area. This effectively streamlines its operations and optimizes the efficiency of its supply chain management. The company has been in the macadamia industry for the past 13 years and has diversified its product offering to include products offered in the local market. In 2021, WKL transitioned from processing macadamia nuts for exporters to actively participating in the export of macadamia nuts. The company now processes and packages its macadamia kernels in labeled cartons for the export market. Additionally, WKL processes the by-products of the macadamia nuts into macadamia oil and sells them in the local market to supermarkets and shops.
