Mission Statement

Our mission is to create, maintain, and strengthen relationships with our final customer - the farmer. In some cases (especially small-scale) we need to work through dealers / retailers - the one-stop shop concept may offer benefits to this sector - and strategically set up depots to increase product availability.

We recruit professional and intellectually stimulating people who have the capacity and ability to effect their duties professionally and ethically so as to earn the market's respect.

To create competitive advantages we source our products from reputable manufacturers and pay attention to all stages of procurement, importation and repackaging to guarantee our customers quality.

Vision Statement

“Our vision is to be the leading provider of Agricultural chemicals and products, known and respected by farmers all over the country for quality products, efficient service and value-added prices.”

Our Business

Farmchem's procurement strategy is to source for good quality products at competitive prices. This is done through strategic co-operation agreements with multinational input suppliers/manufacturers. We are committed to ensuring continuous development of our key success factors, namely, customer satisfaction, product development and registration capability.

The main operations of the company are formulation of liquid fertilizers, importation, warehousing, repackaging and marketing of Pesticides, Non-Pesticides and Seeds, delivering products, provision of credit and offering advisory services to farmers – gratis.

Markets

Initially, the company targeted the coffee industry promoting the only registered Cuprous Oxide formulation, namely, Copper Nordox. The company undertook a promotional exercise on the use of this product among the commercial estates and small-scale coffee farmers organized under the co-operative movement.

This was effectively done to the extent that the product is a household name in the coffee industry. However, over time, with the acquisition of new products and development of new markets the company has extended its services to the horticulture (flowers, export & domestic vegetables), specialty crops (sisal, fruit, sugarcane) and cereals crop markets.

Product Range

Over time, the company has broadened its product offering to include, Insecticides, Nematicides, Herbicides, Nutrient fertilizers and Seeds.

To broaden market penetration, Farmchem obtains authorization from product manufacturers to repackage its products. We identify the market’s demand for a pack size and repackage the product to meet this demand. This ensures that we adapt to and/or are guided by market trends.

Repackaging also ensures wider distribution and availability of products on dealer/sub-dealer shelves. The small-scale farmer prefers these packs for convenience and affordability. Areas of Operation

Farmchem covers all the agriculturally productive parts of Kenya and also serves Uganda and Tanzania where it offers crop protection, specialized fertilizers, vegetable and maize seed products.
