OUR SISAL ESTATES
The Kenyan Sisal Estates
The group operates two sisal estates in Kenya with a total sisal fibre production from these estates of around 10,500 tonnes per annum representing almost half of Kenya’s total estate fibre production.
The group operates the Vipingo Estate located about 30kms north of Kenya’s second city, Mombasa. The annual sisal fibre production of Vipingo is around 3,500 tonnes.
The Dwa Estate, located at Kibwezi some 200 kms southeast of Nairobi, is the largest estate in the group - with a land area of 8,990 hectares and an annual fibre production of over 7,000 tonnes. Dwa fibre is sold under the well respected Chai mark.
All fibre from the Kenyan estates is exported though the port of Mombasa in Kenya.
The Tanzanian Estates
The group owns three sisal estates in Tanzania - the Mwera, Sakura and Kigombe estates, located between 30 and 70 kilometers south of Tanga in north eastern Tanzania.
The Tanzania estates produce around 7,000 tonnes of sisal fibre per annum and - other than some fibre that is consumed in the Group's Amboni sisal spinning mill - it is all exported through the port of Tanga.
