In 2023, the company exported 75,000 metric tonnes of its products abroad through the port of Mombasa. In achieving this, the company enabled Kenya to multiply its FOREX (foreign exchange) reserves. </p><p>“At Del Monte Kenya, we are deeply proud to be part of the sector’s remarkable growth and development. Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy, supporting countless livelihoods and nurturing our communities. Our commitment goes beyond business; it is about sustaining families and fostering a brighter future for all,” said Del Monte Kenya’s Acting Deputy Managing Director, Wayne Cook.</p><p>In accordance with the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/exhibits/page/sdgs-17-goals-transform-world" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations,</a> Del Monte Kenya’s continued investment intends to alleviate poverty through shared prosperity and wider industry association.

Last year, Del Monte Kenya paid about KSh 1.3 billion in taxes ranging from employee PAYEs, VAT, corporate taxes, withholding tax, and excise duty. This has been a significant boost to the country’s declining revenue base. </p><h1 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-del-monte-kenya-s-social-development-role"><strong>Del Monte Kenya’s social development role</strong></h1><p>Infrastructural development is crucial for industries operating within a community. By streamlining supply chains and ensuring easier movement of labour, good infrastructure guarantees industries of higher productivity rates and uninterrupted operations. Both raw materials and finished produce need to be transported between the processing plant and the markets. To ensure the transport of its products to its final destination, Del Monte Kenya invests KSh 100 million every year in the maintenance of public roads in and around its farms. </p><p>Investments in infrastructure have spillover advantages or external benefits that can be enjoyed by local communities. Individuals can easily move from one place to another, saving time and labour that could be accorded to other meaningful activities. These investments also allow people to connect and readily avail themselves to work thus improving the coordination of productive activities. To maximize the use of these resources, Del Monte Kenya has further invested in other sectors such as education in the area. </p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><a href="https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM.jpeg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="576" src="https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-1024x576.jpeg" alt="Kihunguro Junior Secondary School situated in Del Monte Plantation during a Nutrition and Agriculture class" class="wp-image-132611" srcset="https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-300x169.jpeg 300w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-768x432.jpeg 768w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-150x84.jpeg 150w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-750x422.jpeg 750w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM-1140x641.jpeg 1140w, https://kenyanwallstreet.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/WhatsApp-Image-2024-07-03-at-11.29.38-AM.jpeg 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></a><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kihunguro Junior Secondary School situated in Del Monte Plantation during a Nutrition and Agriculture class</figcaption></figure><p>Del Monte Kenya’s support of education initiatives is not a new thing.

Additionally,Del Monte Mixed Secondary school was established in 2010, providing affordable high school education for more than 12,000 students. Employees’ children as well as residents from Umoja, Gichagi, and Kilimambogo benefit from the educational opportunities that Del Monte Kenya has dedicated itself to improving.</p><p>“Due to the support from Del Monte, last year we produced one of the best KCSE students in the area, Bernard Okinyi, who scored a B+.
