Strict Grading Systems & Food Safety
At Genco Livestock and Fresh Meat Export Ltd, all our meat products undergo rigorous grading and inspection aligned with both Kenyan and international food safety standards, including compliance with KEBS, veterinary export certification, and HACCP protocols. We maintain strict controls over additives, hygiene, and product traceability. Our facilities are regularly audited by accredited bodies to ensure consistency, safety, and export readiness.
Halal Certification
Genco is fully certified to supply HALAL compliant meat products. All slaughtering and processing are conducted under the supervision of qualified Islamic authorities, following strict Shariah principles and overseen by the Kenya Bureau of Halal Certification and State Department of Livestock. We issue official HALAL certificates for every export consignment, meeting the religious and regulatory standards of our global customers.
Ethical and sustainable sourcing.
We are committed to ethical sourcing and sustainable livestock production. Genco partners with pastoralist communities that raise animals on natural pasture, ensuring humane treatment, low-stress handling, and adherence to animal welfare guidelines. Our sourcing practices support regenerative grazing, which improves soil health, mitigates carbon emissions, and enhances resilience to climate change.
Storage and cold chain management.
Genco upholds global best practices in cold chain logistics to preserve product integrity from farm to fork. Our Nairobi-based processing and cold storage facilities operate with temperature-controlled environments to ensure food safety, extended shelf life, and premium quality during international transit. We collaborate with certified freight and shipping partners to monitor every stage of the cold chain.
