Markets in Motion. Decisions with Purpose.
BidhaaPro is being established as a specialised Kenyan commodity derivatives brokerage. Subject to regulatory approval, we will help eligible businesses and professional market participants understand and access exchange-traded commodity derivatives through practical education, disciplined execution and consistent transaction support.
Company Status
BidhaaPro Limited is applying to the Capital Markets Authority for a derivatives broker licence and intends to seek admission by the Commodity Market Exchange as a trading member. We have not commenced regulated derivatives brokerage activities.
Commodity prices move. Businesses carry the consequences.
Farmers, cooperatives, processors, livestock enterprises, manufacturers and commercial buyers are exposed to changing commodity prices. A price movement between production, purchase and sale can affect:
- producer income
- raw-material costs
- animal-feed costs
- processor margins
- procurement budgets
- stock values
- business planning
Commodity derivatives provide a structured market mechanism through which eligible participants may manage defined price exposures. However, derivatives also involve margin requirements, daily price movements, settlement deadlines and potential financial loss.
BidhaaPro is being established to make this market clearer and more accessible.
What We Intend to Provide
Subject to CMA licensing, CMX admission and operational-readiness requirements, BidhaaPro intends to offer the following services.
Market Education
Understand how commodity derivatives work, what they are designed to do and the obligations they create.
Client Onboarding
Complete a structured account-opening, verification and risk-disclosure process.
Trade Execution
Submit authorised instructions for eligible exchange-listed contracts.
Margin & Position Support
Receive information on open positions, margin obligations, settlement movements and contract expiry.
Settlement Support
Understand the applicable timelines and obligations arising from executed transactions.
Delivery Readiness
Prepare for the operational requirements of contracts held to physical delivery.
Initial Market Focus
BidhaaPro's initial focus is expected to include selected agricultural commodity derivatives, beginning with maize, maize silage and Super Napier silage.
The introduction of each product will depend on regulatory approval, exchange availability, contract specifications, market liquidity, delivery arrangements and BidhaaPro's operational readiness.

Our Approach
How BidhaaPro intends to operate as a responsible market intermediary.
Understanding before access
A client should understand the relevant contract, funding obligation and potential loss before trading.
Commercial relevance
Participation should begin with a defined commercial exposure or legitimate market objective.
Disciplined execution
Client instructions and transactions must be properly authorised, recorded and confirmed.
Clear responsibilities
BidhaaPro will distinguish its brokerage role from those of the exchange, clearing institutions, banks, warehouses and delivery providers.
No guaranteed outcomes
Derivatives may reduce a defined exposure, but they do not remove all commercial or financial risk.
