Agricultural commodity procurement • Kenya

One Requirement.
Multiple Verified Sources.
One Procurement Solution.

Institutional commodity sourcing should not require dozens of calls, disconnected quotations and separate logistics arrangements.

Tell us what you need, how much you need, where you need it and when you need it.

Thomas & Tayo brings qualifying supply together across approved warehouses and suppliers, helps verify critical information, aggregates fragmented lots where necessary, and coordinates one procurement and fulfilment workflow.

Built for institutional procurement across Kenya.

Procurement Starts With Your Requirement

Start with demand — not endless listings.

Traditional commodity sourcing often begins with searching for sellers and trying to piece together availability manually.

We take a different approach.

  • You provide the requirement.
  • We coordinate the sourcing.
Submit Your Requirement

Your requirement may include:

  • Commodity
  • Variety or type
  • Grade or specification
  • Required quantity
  • Packaging
  • Delivery destination
  • Required delivery date
  • Quality requirements
  • Inspection requirements
  • Supporting documentation

From there, our platform and operations team identify qualifying supply and build a procurement solution around your actual requirement.

How It Works

From one RFQ to coordinated fulfilment.

  1. 1

    Submit Your Requirement

    Tell us the commodity, specification, quantity, destination and delivery timeline.

  2. 2

    We Search Qualifying Supply

    We identify eligible inventory across participating warehouses and approved supply sources.

  3. 3

    We Aggregate Where Necessary

    If one location cannot fulfil the requirement, qualifying lots may be combined into a coordinated sourcing plan.

  4. 4

    Receive a Consolidated Quote

    You receive a structured quotation showing the commercial offer, key conditions and relevant landed-cost components.

  5. 5

    Confirm and Fulfil

    After acceptance and required supplier confirmations, we coordinate documentation, release, transport, delivery and proof of delivery.

Why Thomas & Tayo

Commodity procurement without the fragmentation.

One Requirement

Give your procurement team one starting point rather than contacting multiple suppliers separately.

Multi-Source Aggregation

Large requirements can be fulfilled using qualifying stock from more than one approved source.

Verified Supply Information

Warehouse, lot, documentation and receipt-validation information can be captured and presented with clear verification status.

Landed-Cost Visibility

Evaluate more than the commodity price alone. Relevant handling, quality, transport and service costs can form part of the quotation.

Coordinated Fulfilment

Move from sourcing through documentation, release, logistics and delivery within one managed workflow.

Traceable Process

Important quotations, approvals, status changes and transaction records are preserved through the platform.

Commodities

Starting with Kenya’s essential cereals and pulses.

Green Grams

Structured sourcing for processors, wholesalers, institutional buyers and export-related requirements.

The Platform is designed with a configurable commodity catalogue so additional agricultural commodities can be introduced where demand, supply and applicable requirements support them.

Built for Serious Buyers

Supporting organisations that buy at scale.

  • Flour millers
  • Food manufacturers and processors
  • Animal feed manufacturers
  • Wholesalers and distributors
  • Institutional caterers
  • Education and healthcare institutions
  • NGOs and humanitarian organisations
  • Government suppliers
  • Exporters
  • Hospitality groups

Whether the requirement is recurring or one-off, the process starts with a clear specification.

For Buyers

Supply Partners

Turn verified inventory into qualified demand.

Thomas & Tayo works with participating warehouses, commodity owners, cooperatives, aggregators and approved suppliers to connect available agricultural commodities with institutional buyer requirements.

Instead of relying only on passive listings, suppliers can respond to actual procurement opportunities matched to the commodities and volumes they can fulfil.

Trust & Verification

Better procurement depends on better information.

Our operating model is designed to make important sourcing information visible and traceable.

  • Warehouse identity & certification references
  • Commodity owner or seller authority
  • Lot quantity & availability
  • Commodity grade & specification
  • Warehouse-receipt reference
  • Receipt-validation status
  • Quality & inspection documents
  • Inventory confirmation date
  • Delivery documentation

A platform verification status does not replace statutory warehouse-receipt, title, licensing or regulatory processes.
