KCB Bank has signed two strategic MOUs aimed at transforming Kenya’s leather industry by addressing long-standing supply chain challenges and improving market integration from farmers to finished products.
The first agreement, with the Kenya Leather Development Council, will strengthen the leather ecosystem through investment, coordination, and capacity building.
The partnership also aims to enhance access to financing, infrastructure, and market linkages necessary for scaling the sector.
A second collaboration with Alpharama Limited and Ranch Experts focuses on scaling processing capacity and creating a structured, end-to-end value chain.
The initiative will connect leather producers directly to manufacturers and international markets, facilitating industrial growth and supporting businesses throughout the sector.
KCB emphasized that progress in the leather sector requires all players—from rural producers to manufacturers—to move together, creating a more connected, efficient, and sustainable industry.
