About ANDAVE

Global trade, local roots

Founded by three partners whose combined experience spans physical commodity trading, trade finance, credit insurance and business development across East Africa and beyond.

Overview

Who we are

ANDAVE Export & Import Products Ltd is a Kenyan international trading house, founded by three partners with more than 80 years of combined experience in physical commodity trading, trade finance, credit insurance and business development across East Africa. We export premium agricultural produce from Kenya and the wider EAC region, and import modern machinery, technology, agri-inputs (fertilisers, soil amendments, crop protection, and livestock productivity solutions), and services — supported by in-house expertise in structuring cross-border transactions, managing risk and arranging finance.

Our mission

Trade as a calling

At ANDAVE we regard international trade as a calling — a responsible mission to connect the fertile lands of East Africa with the world through disciplined work, unconditional integrity and professional excellence.

Success in global trade is built on character, competence and consistent execution.

Ethical trade is not merely good business — it is the right way to build lasting prosperity for communities and nations.
