• Which African country has a biorefinery based on vegetable oil?
  • Kenya is the first African country in which we have built an oilseed pressing plant for the extraction of vegetable oil for the production of biofuel. Located in Wote, Makueni County, the centre, also known as an agri-hub, has a capacity of 15,000 tons per year and, since 2022, has been supplying the Eni biorefinery in Gela.
  • What is Agri-feedstock in Kenya?
  • This is a new model in the agribusiness sector that allows Kenya to enter the global industrial chain for the production of agri-feedstock, which are raw materials cultivated on degraded, semi-arid or abandoned land that are not in competition with the food supply chain.
  • What does Kenya’s bio-refinery initiative mean for Africa?
  • The initiative in Kenya represents the first integrated project in the world to bring Africa into the vertical bio-refinery supply chain by providing income opportunities and market access to thousands of farmers in degraded areas.
