About Us
Our business is built on a legacy of trust, integrity and ethics
Our Past
Formerly Known as Hi Pro (High Protein) Foods , We were founded over 30 years ago
Back then our product portfolio had only a few food items . Our main focus then was bulk edible oil and Soya Meal production. A few years later we would then expand to add a number of Textured Soya Products to our Product Portfolio.
Our Present
The Company has since rebranded its operations under a new name; Essential Commodities Ltd. All of Essential Commodities’ products are produced locally in our manufacturing plant in Lusaka , Zambia. Essential Commodities is home to over 200 employees.
Our Future
Our mission is to create more smiles with every sip and every bite. How? By embracing being homegrown and filled with goodness, our winning strategy. That is, winning in the marketplace, accelerating growth and keeping our commitment to the planet and our communities.
What’s more, we believe every consumer should have access to their favorite product, everywhere no matter which part of the world they are in.
