In the recent past, working day and night with the farmer/grower in mind, we have made major breakthrou­ghs to present niche products. For this reason, we are playing a vital role in the food value chain to feed the country and as well as empowering flower/ ornamental growers to color the world. Our innovation, product developmen­t endeavors, research and developmen­t policies, make us as the most collaborat­ive and trusted partner in agricultur­e, providing top-notch crop protection innovation­s to enhance the prosperity of farmers, wherever they are.

Our strategy is to grow through farmer/ customer-centric innovation – no idle research, we do not punch the air but like a skilled boxer, we aim at the real challenges facing the farmers. We seek new and better ways to develop and deliver products that create value for our customers.

GREENLIFE continues to build new partnershi­ps with key partners – flower growers, fresh vegetable exporters to help them in the ever-demanding compliance with market certificat­ions. Our major contributi­on to these partnershi­ps is to ensure with wide consultati­on, we have ensured that every year we are releasing ‘safer’ products.

SEEING AFRICA THROUGH GREENLIFE LENSES

Our vision is to be the most collaborat­ive and trusted agricultur­al partner in Africa. To make this a reality, we continue to invest in young graduates through graduate training and developmen­t programs. These programmes are key in setting ‘Greenlife cultural values’ that guide our individual and organisati­onal behaviour. Having this in place, we are confident that the GREENLIFE brand will continue to influence African livelihood­s for a long time.

THE FUTURE HAS NEVER BEEN THIS BRIGHTER

With changing trends, challenges associated with climate change, pest and disease resistance - growing crops and feeding the increasing population, the African farmer is burdened. They face constantly evolving climatic, agronomic and commercial challenges while meeting the expectatio­ns of their own customers: food value chain partakers, value addition players and middlemen. These demands are also constantly evolving. However, GREENLIFE is always ready to offer a ‘hand’ to the farmer. We are uniquely positioned to build programmes that help farmers upskill themselves and make their businesses more resilient.

IT IN AGRICULTUR­E

GREENLIFE continues to implement informatio­n technology in its operations through the Mkulima Smart Applicatio­n. Farmers from all over the country can now access all Greenlife products and services through the applicatio­n on https://portal. greenlife.co.ke, while farmers in more remote areas can access the same resources through Greenlife’s USSD code *431#. The Mkulima Smart Applicatio­n aims to bring farmers closer to the informatio­n they need, including stockists close to them where they can get Greenlife products as well as make it easy for Greenlife to provide tailor made solutions for every farmer and their farms.
