About the Company:
Export
Trading Group is the largest agricultural-commodity supply chain
company in East and Southern Africa. The Company originates (buys) crops
at farm gate “up country” in over 25 African countries, aggregates and
processes them in a network of proprietary facilities and exports them
internationally. Using this infrastructure in reverse, the Company
imports fertilizer and rice, breaks bulk and processes them, and
distributes them to smallholders.
ETG Digital Platforms (Kyosk)
is building the future of the retail of everyday essentials and access
to financial services in Africa, starting from Kenya.
Kyosk
Digital Services limited is a tech-led platform that connects informal
retailers who retail in kiosks and other similar retail outlets directly
to fast-moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) by communicating demand
from retail outlets directly to FMCGs and their distributors and
managing the delivery of the goods to the kiosks.

Our
digital ordering and delivery platform – Kyosk, ensures that these
retail outlets get access to stock at competitive prices and have them
delivered directly to them. FMCGs find the traditional distribution
chain to be inadequate as well, making it expensive for them to serve
kiosk-type retail outlets, leading to high incidences of product
stock-outs and lost sales opportunities. By providing FMCGs with good
data visibility, we solve this major problem of theirs.
If you
want to become a business leader in the emerging digital technology
space and join a rapidly growing company of passionate and determined
individuals with a singular will to win, Kyosk Digital is the
organization for you.
