We are all about provision of information and services with a goal to sensitize and enable farmers and investors to take an interest in horticultural value chains. Founded in 2012 locally, the firm has a strong professional touch with local horticultural experts in the areas of open field horticulture, greenhouse establishment and maintenance, crop breeding, crop protection, irrigation, ornamentol
ogy and landscape design, among others. Our main goal is to sensitize and encourage farmers to practice horticulture in the whole of Kenya, Uganda, extending to East and Eastern Africa and eventually covering the whole of Africa at a very affordable and reliable means. The company works with seasoned Horticultural professionals who have long term experience in the field of horticulture gained over the years. This is because horticultural farming demands adequate technical information and skill to facilitate successful crop production and management. This especially applies to greenhouse production. Horti Grid has made this happen through the introduction of horticultural practice to all. Focusing on small scale farmers to large scale farmers not to mention corporate firms too, we have a package for all. Vision:
