Sam Associates takes the headache out of buying or selling your home. Period. We nurture you in making the three factors above your work and the paperwork and "beyond" ours.What is it, exactly, that makes buying or selling your home so unique?Is it the location? Is it the actual size of the home? Is it the interior layout and design? Or how about whether it has a big backyard, or a great view, or maybe its proximity to your kids' school or local parks?The truth of the matter is that there is no magic in the buying or selling of any home.It simply boils down to three universal factors:* Timing* Peoples' Wants and Needs and,* Chemistry (the actual feeling that one gets when entering the home itself, or driving through the neighborhood)* Going beyond these three factors is merely a formality, but this formality is exactly what we do, and do well.When you are ready to select your professional partner in this process, Sam & Associates are ready to get started.

HassConsult Limited was formed in 1993 by Mohamed and Hamida Hassanali with a vision to establish a comprehensive Real Estate firm. The quest for HassConsult's excellence in customer service began as a result of Mohamed Hassanali's desire to radically change the way real estate agents conducted their business in Nairobi. In the past, clients interested in real estate often received inefficient and unreliable services; rarely did they receive published brochures or advertisements with detailed descriptions, and the prices of real estate properties were never listed for customers to review. Today, we are proud to announce a variety of services ranging from new property development and consultancy to letting, selling, and managing residential and commercial properties, and more recently, commercial and residential valuations. HassConsult's dedication to offer honest and knowledgeable service in the real estate business is guided by the philosophy that the client's best interest is the principal force behind HassConsult's services. For example, each week HassConsult provides comprehensive brochures with detailed descriptions and prices for both residential and commercial properties. In addition, clients can readily review a wide range of HassConsult's properties with sharp photographs and maps. These services are reviewed by clients all over the world, and daily HassConsult receives e-mail messages praising the quality of our advertisements. Hence, the reputation and integrity of HassConsult continues to attract clients who are serious and ready to conduct business with a dynamic and assertive real estate firm. At the forefront of HassConsult's success is a team of professionals, who understand the importance of prompt and efficient service. The client portfolio of HassConsult includes professional and international firms, foreign embassies, non-governmental and non-profit organizations, small business owners, real estate investors, and first time home-buyers. As a company committed to progressive management approaches, HassConsult is interested in a broad range of business opportunities, and believes there is still a lot of untapped potential in developing the real estate market in East Africa. Without a doubt, HassConsult is confident that considerable growth will continue in the foreseeable future with regards to real estate development as property still remains the best medium to long-term investment in this part of the world. Recently extending the range of services that HassConsult provides, HassConsult has appointed C. P. Robertson Dunn to join its board of Directors and to establish a valuations department. HassConsult now undertake valuations of commercial and residential properties, as well as businesses. Although HassConsult is based in Nairobi, its presence extends to the Kenyan Coastline to include properties in Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu.
Coffee was first introduced to Kenya in 1893. With time, coffee farmers, especially white settlers saw the need to set up umbrella institutions that would offer core and essential services found to be critical in sustaining coffee production.In order to share coffee production overheads and benefit from economies of scale, the smallholder Africa Coffee Farmers formed Coffee Growers Co-operative societies, which later led to the formation of Kenya Planters' Co-operative Union (KPCU) Ltd in 1937 at Ruiru, Kenya. The KPCU was therefore formed as a stockist company to cheaply undertake bulk purchasing and stocking of essential agricultural inputs such as fertilizers, chemicals, tools and machinery, and then resell the same to the farmers on credit basis and at affordable terms.And to accommodate tha changing needs of the farmers, the KPCU gradually diversified its objectives, roles and functions to enable farmers improve the yields, quality and return on their coffee. This saw the company establish services such as coffee milling, extension services on coffee husbandry and provision of Short Term Credit to finance coffee production among others.Other coffee bodies formed within the same time include the Coffee Board of Kenya to offer licensing and regulatory services and the Coffee Research Foundation to carry out research activities.Ownership of KPCUThe KPCU is a farmers wholly owned institution, whose membership comprises of over 700,000 small scale farmers represented by over 300 Co-operatives and about 2,000 Estate farmers owning small, medium and large-scale farms. Farmers' representatives drawn from both the Coffee Co-operative Societies and Plantations therefore constitute the KPCU Board.Out of the 15 members of the KPCU Board, 9 represent the Co-operatives while 6 represent Estate farmers. They are nominated at grass-root level and are responsible for the affairs of the organisation through resolution passed by the shareholders at the Annual General Meetings, and in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association.Dual RegistrationAs Earlier indicated the farmers formed the main umbrella bodies to cater for the emerging needs that were considered vital for the growth of coffee industry. They then requested the Government to provide a legal framework under which the institution would operate. This led to the formulation of the Coffee Act, Cap 333 under which Coffee Board of Kenya has over the years operated.However, due to its expanded role, the KPCU could not operate solely as a co-operative and in 1945, KPCU was therefore incorporated under the Companies Ordinance of 1933 as a Limited Liability Company and in the same year, registered under the Co-operative Societies Ordinance of 1933. This enabled the company to effectively offer the diversified services to its members who comprise of small-holder coffee growers, Co-operative Societies and large estate/plantation farmers.The issue of dual registration was addressed by the Government in 1991 when a probe was instituted to scrutinize the KPCU's operations and come up with the restructuring recommendations. No conclusive decision was made regarding the dual registration.

Farmer's Choice pork, beef, lamb and processed poultry products are unique as we are one of the very few food producers in the world who have total control of the origin and freshness of all meats used in our products. From animal production and feed control through to slaughter, butchery and processing utilizing the only licensed export slaughterhouses and manufacturing plant in the region, we produce an extensive range of fresh and processed meat products. Farmer's Choice was established in 1980 with its main objective being the sale of fresh and processed pork products to the entire population and across all income groups in Kenya. Right up to this moment, the core business of Farmer's Choice has been the production of sausages, bacon, ham, delicatessen products and fresh pork. Beef, lamb and poultry have also become important supplementary products. EXPORTSWe export an average of 2,000 Metric tons of Farmer's Choice processed products annually to about 15 countries across Africa, the GCC (Gulf Cooperation Countries) and the Indian Subcontinent.COMESA:1. Tanzania2. Uganda3. Eritrea4. Ethiopia5. Djibouti6. Mauritius7. The Democratic Republic of Congo8. Rwanda9. ZanzibarNON COMESA:1. UAE2. Bahrain3. Ghana 4. Nigeria 5. Indian Subcontinent6. OmanFarmer's Choice products are sent by Air, Road and Sea from our factory to destinations worldwide.Manufacturing ProcessFarmer’s Choice currently produces around 8,000 tons of meat per year. While most of this consists of pork and beef produce, several hundred tons of other perishable products are also distributed, including turkey, chicken, lamb, dairy products and vegetables. There are three essential criteria in ensuring that Farmer’s Choice products are kept to the international standards expected of them: time, temperature and hygiene. To satisfy these standards the company’s managers have left nothing to chance. There are two on-site generators with a total of 1,000 Kva capacity, as well as a constant fresh water supply from two boreholes within the compound. The water is chlorinated to appropriate safety levels and checked for cleanliness three times a day. The health of the pigs is another crucial factor that needs constant monitoring, not just to ensure good quality meat, but also for humanitarian reasons. Government Veterinary Inspectors regularly check the off-site pig units, as well as those of producers who are sub-contracted to supply pigs for slaughter. As soon as the animals arrive at the slaughterhouse from the pig units, they are put into a lairage that has been built to Kenya Government Veterinary specifications. Here an inspector checks them for any sign of disease. Immediately prior to slaughter, the pigs are screened for any sign of stress that might adversely affect the quality of the meat. The animals are killed painlessly, having been rendered unconscious by an electric stunner immediately beforehand. The cleaning, dressing, inspection and subsequent butchering of the pigs are all strictly controlled, both in terms of the temperature at which each operation takes place, and the time allowed before the animal is moved to the next stage. All workers in the plant are made acutely aware of the need to remain clean at all times. The wearing of white coats, boots and hats is obligatory in all production areas. All the meat products are packed on site, either by vacuum or in food grade wrappers. The meat for sausages is encased in collagen that has been imported from the UK. This gives the sausages a tender bite whilst ensuring sterility. All the packages pass through a computerized dating machine that ink jets the date of manufacture and sell-by date onto each package, ensuring that the product reaches the consumer in a fresh state.Before final despatch from the plant, all products are stored at 0º Centigrade or less, having been metal detected to ensure quality and safety. Over sixty vans are involved in distributing Farmer’s Choice products in Kenya. All of them are either refrigerated or specially insulated, operating on a distribution schedule that ensures the most rapid delivery possible to retail stores, hotels, institutions and fast food outlets alike.
