Consumer goods manufacturer Bidco Africa is seeking additional suppliers of soybean and sunflower seeds in a bid to steady the supply of raw materials. Bidco, which manufactures edible oils, soaps, and detergents is looking to buy around 30,000 tonnes of soybeans and sunflower from agripreneurs across the country. The grains will be processed at Bidco's manufacturing unit in Nakuru County to extract cooking oil and the cake made into animal feeds. 'This is an opportunity for Kenyans to grow agribusiness and for entrepreneurs especially the youth and women leaders who can aggregate farmers to come and grow and then we will collect it from the farms,' said Bidco group director Chris Diaz.
