Agriculture is the biggest exchange earner in Kenya, which makes agricultural companies in Kenya equally important. They are divided into 2 major areas: production and agro-processing. Agricultural companies that deal with production companies handle on-ground activities such as planting, weeding, harvesting, and post-harvest practices. The process takes time since every crop has a maturity period. The same process also applies to animal rearing. Agro-processing involves preparing the farm produce to suit consumption. Regardless of the process, all the areas directly contribute to agribusiness.
Agricultural Production Companies
These are entities that prepare and handle the entire process of growing and plant nurturing. They start by sourcing the seeds and mechanical capacity to produce optimally and ensure maximum gains. There are 2 divisions in agricultural production: commercial production (producing for processing companies) and consumption production. All these are mechanized agriculture, which utilizes production best practices.
Besides food crops, we have agricultural companies in Kenya that produce cash crops, including trees, tea, coffee, and nuts. They are specifically commercially produced either for export or for a specific use. We also have specific companies that contract farmers to produce specific crops for them. A good example is burley farmers who plant for EABL and sugarcane farmers for local sugar industries.
Agro Processing Companies
These are agricultural companies in Kenya that mostly handle post-harvest practices, branding and sorting, either for export or further production. Agro-processing companies mostly deal with exports, especially fruits, vegetables, and flowers, among others. Those that process tea, coffee and other edible crops can either be manufactured locally or exported. However, there are efforts to finesse the raw materials into final products to earn more foreign exchange.
In retrospect, most agricultural companies in Kenya are agro-processing. Not many entrepreneurs want to handle the actual production work since it consumes time, and the returns are negligible.
