Company description

Kuriotes Investments Ltd, an agribusiness enterprise and the leading supplier of Collina Foods was born in September 2020 out of a desire to do more – the Bible says “Dominate until I come” Luke 19:11-27 and Matthew 25:14-30, the parable of the Talents. Kuriotes Investments Ltd specializes in the production and supply of high-quality Collina Foods. We process beans by pre-cooking and preserving them to be shelf stable, package, brand and make them available to customers and businesses that do not have time to cook beans and would like to save fuel energy that they have been using to cook their beans. Through its operations and expanded capacity, Kuriotes Investments Ltd aims to deliver both nutritional and economic benefits to its customers and communities. The company is committed to delivering fresh, organic, nutritious and sustainably sourced agricultural products to meet both local and international market demands.

Driven by innovation and a focus on quality, Kuriotes Investments Ltd envisages legalizing their partnership with farmers and stakeholders across the agricultural value chain to promote sustainable farming practices and ensure consistent product excellence. The company’s dedication to customer satisfaction and agricultural development positions it as a trusted brand in the food supply market.
