The latest and best agricultural methods are key to African prosperity.

Based in Kenya, Amiran Kenya Ltd (Amiran) is a people-centric company bringing agricultural solutions, methods and expertise to small- and large-scale farmers across the country. A part of the Balton CP group of companies headquartered in the UK and spread throughout Africa and Israel, Amiran provides complete solutions in all of its fields of expertise, with its business split into two key areas: agribusiness and export farm.

Amiran’s holistic agribusiness techniques bring together highquality inputs, knowledge and know-how, and are sourced from world leaders in the agricultural field before being tailor-made especially for African farmers by Amiran. In this way, Amiran is bridging the gap by ensuring farmers in Africa have access to world-class innovations, the company’s agricultural basket of products, including chemicals, fertilisers, seeds, modern irrigation systems, greenhouse kits, plastics and covers, in addition to services such as training, agro-support, on call support assistance and growing guides.

Regarding the industry climate, changing weather patterns and the emergence of new pests and diseases in the agricultural field has challenged Amiran to continuously research and introduce a range of products to cater to these ever-changing needs and various challenges. Amiran ensures its products and services are reachable to the end user through partnerships with local agro-dealers and agro-shops at all levels – a service designed by people, for people. Complementing all of these services and products is Amiran’s team of professional agronomists, who offer the best technical advice aimed at helping Kenya’s farming community to achieve the best possible yields.

As Amiran continues to supply and support Kenya’s growers in the floriculture industry, the company has placed a large emphasis on the dayto-day activities of horticulture and cereal growers. The company hopes that through these efforts it can play its role in helping to further position its clients in the local and world markets as trustworthy and reliable suppliers through exceptional produce.

One such offer that Amiran provides small- and large-scale farmers is the Amiran Farmer’s Kit (AFK). The AFK was created with the aim of allowing small-scale farmers affordable access to modern agricultural technologies, methods and inputs of the highest standard. Designed by Amiran, the AFK is a tailor-made kit designed to meet the needs of the specific farmer or group of farmers by adapting the components of the kit to suit the climate, terrain, and agricultural experience of the farmer.

The AFK incorporates innovative agricultural technologies including the family drip system (FDS), an easy-to-use gravity-fed drip irrigation system, a farmer’s greenhouse and top-quality agro-inputs such as seeds, bio-organic plant protection and bio-organic nutrients. The AFK comes
