About KSE Ltd

Today KSE commands the resources, expertise and infrastructure to manufacture a range of livestock feed in high volumes, coconut oil from coconut oil cake and refined edible oil.

Driven by a commitment to high standards of quality, KSE has not only won customer confidence but also national recognition through several awards and accolades.
