Kasupe Cooking OIL (KCO) Affordable Cooking Oil For All

Entrepreneur Hermes Chipondeni owns Kasupe Cooking Oil (KCO), which transforms locally grown soya beans into affordable, high-quality cooking oil for Malawian households. With demand for edible oils rising and 70% of Malawi’s supply imported, KCO fills a critical gap by providing a healthier, locally produced alternative. Our model empowers smallholder farmers through stable markets, reduces import dependency, and creates jobs in processing and distribution. With scalable operations and a growing consumer base, KCO is positioned to become a leading local brand driving both nutrition and economic growth in Malawi and beyond.
