Over dependence on perennial cash and food crops has seen a bias towards less cultivation of short term horticultural crops.

There is therefore a need to move to modern farming methods that require minimal land use, provide returns in the short term and most importantly, do not depend on the existing climatic conditions. Kenya needs to embrace this change and as a result realize food security besides restore short term crop cultivation as a major income source.

Horti Grid works on the provision of a simple and affordable wooden pole green house kit with a full package of seeds, chemicals, fertilizer, technical support and continuous training. We have summarized all the above benefits into different packages that consist of;

1.An improvised wooden pole greenhouse clad with UV protected paper

2.Drip irrigation system as per the crop capacity of greenhouse

3.Soil and water testing and analysis

4.Soil Treatment and Fumigation

5.Seeds and Chemicals during crop establishment

6.Manure, its Treatment and other Fertilizers

7.Greenhouse hygiene and crop husbandry manual inclusive of a comprehensive spray program

Also included are:

Field representatives near the project areas with full a time Horticultural assistant assigned to visit farms on regular basis
