WHAT WE DO
The company farms 2,450 hectares of broad-acre arable crops in two areas of Kenya - Ndabibi (Naivasha), and Ol Maisor (Laikipia) with 135 Ha at Ndabibi under pivot. Our location in Laikipia is considered marginal, non-traditional farmland, however adopting Conservation Agriculture methodologies has proven crops can successfully be grown on these soils. Current crops include Maize, Wheat, Barley, Canola, Peas, Chickpeas, Sunflower, Green Grams and Sorghum. Input and off take agreements for all crops are in place with Agventure Ltd, Sas Ag’s strategic trading and processing partner.

Our history and vision
Transforming a family operated business with 100 years of experience.
Sasumua Agriculture Ltd was created on the founding family farms based in Nakuru, Kenya to meet the 21st century challenges and changes in agriculture.
Farming for the future
Our farms adopt Conservation Agriculture methods - a farming system that promotes minimum mechanical soil disturbance through direct tillage, permanent soil organic cover of at least 30 percent and species diversification through varied crop rotations. To support these methods we also use controlled traffic farming and GPS based precision technology.
