Asset financing company M-Kopa is now exporting 15,000 locally assembled mobile phones to Uganda every month, which is 10 percent of the 150,000 devices it produces monthly at its Nairobi assembly plant.
The company’s output at the Nairobi assembly plant has increased 25 percent from the average 120,000 units it was assembling monthly as of October last year, and the Uganda shipments are part of a strategy to lower operational costs and, in turn, reduce customer defaults.
