Listed manufacturing company Unga Group Plc has returned to profitability, recording a net profit of KES 222.1 million compared to a loss of KES 669.6 million in 2024.
Key Performance Highlights
- Revenue: Up 10.2% to KES 26.1 billion from KES 23.7 billion in 2024.
- Operating profit: Improved to KES 704 million from a loss of KES 275.6 million

Unga Group’s robust performance is attributable to the firm’s focus on customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and prudent financial management, including debt cuts.
The external environment remained favourable throughout the period, characterised by declines in interest rates. During the review period, the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) cut its interest rate by 3.25 percentage points to 9.75% in June 2025. As a result, finance costs eased 29.5% to KES 394.6 million. The Kenyan shilling remained stable against major currencies, a factor that boosted the Group’s financial health. Since May 2024, the Kenyan shilling has exchanged at an average of KES 129 per US dollar.
The regional food and farm-care company benefited from predictable climatic conditions that helped stabilize the input prices. These external factors, combined with internal efficiencies, created a resilient, growth-oriented environment that boosted the Group’s revenue by 10.2% to KES 26.1 billion. This was a recovery from a marginal 1.4% year-over-year dip in revenue recorded in the year ended June 30, 2024, and the highest revenue ever for the company.
Unga Group strengthened its relationship with customers, farmers, and trade partners, demonstrating its dedication to quality and safe products, which built trust with consumers and made the whole supply chain more productive.
Unga Group Outlook
Looking forward, Unga remains vigilant about global economic dynamics, including changes in supply chains, interest rates, currency rates, and credit facilities. The Group will remain focused on improving customer satisfaction and delivering high-quality, safe food and feed products.
