Assranda expands grading and packing capacity in Kigali

Assranda Group Ltd has completed an expansion of its grading and packing line in Kigali, adding extra intake tables, a second pre-cooling room and expanded carton storage. The upgrade raises weekly throughput to match the buyer programmes already committed for the 2026/27 season.

The expansion was planned around the specific products in our programme: French beans, which move through grading fastest; chillies, which need shade and careful handling; and avocados, which require dry-matter testing and ripening staging before packing.

All new capacity operates under the same quality and traceability rules as the existing line: every carton coded, every shift logged, and every consignment traceable back to the plot it came from. The facility is now ready for the peak weeks from October through March.
