Chris, our partnerships Co-ordinator representing us in the FMCG awards event

Last week, marked a pivotal moment for Pezesha as we attended the highly esteemed FMCG Awards hosted at Trademark Hotel, Nairobi. The evening was aglow with the spirit of celebration and accomplishment as market leaders from the fast-moving consumer goods sector converged to honor excellence and innovation.

The FMCG sector in Kenya is thriving, with a market size exceeding $10 billion with over 7.4 million Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Kenya, approximately 51% of them engaged in FMCG-related activities such as retail, wholesale, and agriculture (Source: BMI fitch solutions).

Amidst the grandeur of the occasion, Pezesha took the stage to deliver a compelling presentation, articulating our unwavering commitment to revolutionizing financial inclusion to small and medium sized businesses across Africa in the FMCG value chains through our embedded finance approach.

Pezesha has been instrumental in serving a significant portion of this market, enabling more than 200,00+ loans in FMCG sector, where we have seen more than 20,000+ jobs created and income levels on average rising to at least 13% per customer

. This year we aim to scaleup to more FMCG value chains especially in agriculture and consumer goods as we believe this is where disporportionate impact will be felt following the strategic partners we have forged in telcos, payments and banking sector as well.
