Since its inception in 1963, Amiran Kenya Ltd has been a driving force behind the horticulture and floriculture industries in Kenya and throughout East Africa. Over the years Amiran has expanded its activities and is today a leader in telecommunications, water purification, solar energy, generators and more.

From products and services to training and capacity building, the Amiran Kenya Ltd brand has become synonymous with the highest international standards of excellence. Through decades of partnership with Kenya’s large and small-scale growers, Amiran has become a “one-stop shop” for all of Kenya’s agricultural needs. While playing a significant role in bringing the Kenyan floriculture industry to its place as a global leader, Amiran has also remained focused on the needs of horticulture and cereal growers.

Amiran Kenya’s agricultural basket of products includes chemicals, fertilizers and seeds; large and small scale agro-projects using state of the art technology powering modern irrigation systems, climate control and water measuring technologies. Amiran is also responsible for building and maintaining 90% of Kenya’s greenhouses. Complimenting all of these is a team of professional agronomists offering the best technical advice as well as innovative products aimed to achieve the best possible yields

Recently, as part of its Cooperate Social Responsibilities, Amiran has explored ways to partner with Kenya’s Donor and NGO community with the goal of utilizing Amiran’s unique abilities for the betterment of the people of Kenya. A unique line of products, among them the Family Drip System (FDS), a simple irrigation system tailor-made for the small farmer, have been identified in a genuine effort to help Kenya and her partners achieve Kenya’s food security and other development goals. As a major player in the Kenyan economy, Amiran Kenya Ltd continues to stand by its age-old commitment to the Kenyan people and continues to work together with its partners for a better future for Kenya.
