Company mission
To reinvent organic fruit and vegetable products to help people eat healthier, and waste less.
Our take
Nutrition standards across the globe are still startlingly low. Kencko solves this problem by making nutritious, organic fruits and vegetables more accessible.
Kencko began by selling a range of six pre-blended, plant-based smoothies. Since then, it has not only expanded its smoothie range, but has also made a recent move into confectionery and lunch bowls. This diversification has been accelerated by an impressive influx of funding, testament to the quality and profitability of Kencko's products.
Kencko's main challenge is to remain distinct in an increasingly crowded health and wellbeing market. Its focus on nutrition and sustainability have set it apart from a number of rivals, but it will need to continue to invest in R&D if it is to remain competitive.
