Copia Global, the B2C e-commerce platform designed to serve the rapidly growing 800 million middle and low-income African consumer market, has launched new private label pulses as part of its growing range of private label offerings to its consumers.
This launch comes months after the company unveiled a new manufacturing unit to increase its output of affordable sugar and rice to the Kenyan market. The launch of Copia branded pulses is in response to market trends and increasing demand in Kenya for high quality staples.
They are available in retail and wholesale packs and come in three distinct product categories: Copia Black Beans (Njahi), Copia Lentils (Kamande), and Copia Green Grams (Ndengu). Copia pulses are easy to cook, high in nutrients and antioxidants, and serve as healthy supplements to Kenyan staple foods.
“We are pleased to add the Copia branded pulses to our growing range of quality everyday products that we offer at unmatched market prices to the majority of Kenyan households,” said Tim Steel, CEO, Copia Global. “We are deepening our investments in line with consumer needs, which indicate that affordable, accessible
and nutritious foods are required in the market.”

These foods are sourced from responsible local suppliers, who are continuously vetted for quality. Copia has secured all requisite regulatory approvals to provide the packaged goods, including accreditation from the Kenya Bureau of Standards (KEBS).
