Reliable supply of cocoa, dairy, nuts, coconut, and specialty fats — backed by global partnerships and technical expertise.
The right specification, at the right price, delivered on time. Every time.
— Our promise to customersKayan Import & Export is an Egyptian trading house specializing in raw materials for the confectionery, bakery, dairy, and food manufacturing industries. For over a decade, we have connected Egyptian factories with vetted producers across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania — delivering consistent quality, transparent pricing, and dependable lead times in a market where all three are rare.
Our story began with a simple observation: Egyptian manufacturers were paying premiums for inconsistent inputs, while world-class producers lacked reliable channels into one of the region's largest food markets. Kayan was built to close that gap. Today, we supply cocoa powder, milk powder, desiccated coconut, tree nuts, and specialty fats (CBS, CBR, CBE) to processors ranging from family-owned bakeries to multinational confectioners operating in Egypt.
Our mission is straightforward: to be the most trusted ingredient sourcing partner in the Egyptian market. We achieve this by combining deep technical product knowledge with rigorous supplier qualification, full customs and clearance handling, and disciplined inventory planning that protects our customers from FX volatility and global supply shocks.
What sets Kayan apart is our dual fluency — we speak the language of European cocoa processors and Asian coconut mills as comfortably as we navigate Egyptian customs, port logistics, and factory specifications.
Every producer in our network is qualified through document review, sample approval, and ongoing performance monitoring.
Our team understands fat content, particle size, alkalization, and functional specs — not just price lists.
We manage origin loading, shipping, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery to your factory gate.
Clear landed-cost breakdowns with no hidden fees, FX surprises, or demurrage shocks.
Disciplined inventory and forward planning protect you from stockouts and global supply disruptions.
Decade-plus relationships with Egyptian manufacturers, banks, and clearance agents accelerate every transaction.
Every shipment is qualified through document review, lab analysis, and sample approval before it enters our customers' production lines. Our quality framework is built around four non-negotiables.
COA (Certificate of Analysis), origin certificates, halal/kosher attestations, and phytosanitary documents are reviewed for every lot before booking.
Random shipment sampling tested at accredited Egyptian laboratories for moisture, fat content, microbiological load, and contaminants per product spec.
Full GOEIC inspection and NFSA registration handled in-house. We carry the regulatory burden so your factory receives release-ready cargo.
Every container is logged from origin loading to factory delivery with full chain-of-custody — critical for recall readiness and audit response.
For new lots and new customers, we issue a pre-shipment sample for in-line trial. No production-scale shipment moves until your QC team signs off.
Documented escalation protocol: any spec deviation is logged, root-caused with the supplier, and resolved through replacement, credit, or rejection — without dispute.
Specifications, certificates of analysis, and pre-shipment samples available for every category. Container-load quantities standard; smaller volumes by arrangement.
