Cultivating a different
kind of growth.
A diverse holding company spanning agriculture mechanisation, large-scale cultivation, international trade and agricultural data intelligence, across East Africa, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.
We connect the soil of East Africa to the world's most demanding markets, through honest farming, disciplined trading, and the data infrastructure to make all of it visible.
Four operating businesses, one platform.
Pamoja's four operating businesses each stand on their own and reinforce each other. The mechanisation business equips the cultivation business; the cultivation business produces the cargoes that flow through our trade desk; the data platform makes all of it visible to investors, regulators and counterparties.
