African Growers practices an all inclusive Integrated
Farming Practice which incorporates eco friendly agricultural
practices.In addition to ensuring improved soil fertility
for sustained farming we also have long term sustainable
plans in place for Environmental Conservation.
As part of our sustainable farming practices we also
as carry out intensive research and development in organic
methods of Pest management by the rearing and introduction
of beneficiaries and maintaining a worm hatchery for
soil enhancer, in addition to the use of Bio Pesticide
plant extracts.
There are also wide-ranging efforts to increase efficiency
and improve quality standards including trial of new
machinery to increase throughput and reduce cost and
emphasis on improved appearance eating quality and extended
shelf life.
We have a fixed planting program with intervals for
crop rotation (to allow adequate time for soil revival)
and differing rainfall regimes.
Kenya two rain patterns - long and short driven by the
Inter tropical convergence zone. Long rains from March
to May and Short rains from October to December.
