ABOUT US

Safi Organics is one of the fastest-growing fertilizer manufacturing companies in Kenya. Our fertilizer is made using organic matter, such as rice husk.

The rice husk is readily available in rice-growing regions such as Mwea Bunyala and Tana Delta. We produce our fertilizers using patented state-of-the-art technology. Our technology makes it possible to decentralize our operations, hence creating employment. 

Safi Organics has invested heavily in modern technologies to increase production and reduce operational costs. Our innovative approach has resulted in several awards and recognition. Some of the most prominent awards are:

  • Elon Musk Foundation
  • Spark Kenya
  • Total Energies
  • Tony Elumelu 
  • MIT 

We believe that when used in agriculture, technology can increase yields, specifically in rural economies. As a result, we set aside a % of our income to finance our R&D center. We are currently experimenting with technologies such as AI and the Internet of Things to help rural farmers identify nutrient deficiencies in the soil.

We are proud of the journey we have taken. From one rice farmer who believed in us, we currently serve more than 20,000+ farmers who trust in our products to increase their yields.

Our Vision at Safi Organics

Most fertilizers today are produced in large-scale, centralized facilities and then imported to rural areas. Due to the logistical mark-up, rural farmers in emerging economies such as Africa and India often pay much more than the rest of the world for their fertilizers. This adds to the cost of food production for small-scale farmers, driving them into a vicious cycle of poverty.

We use technology to downsize and decentralize fertilizer production, making it feasible to implement on a village-level basis using locally available resources and labour. This reduces the logistical cost and produces a high-quality product that, at the same price as conventional fertilizers, can improve farmers’ yields by up to 30%.

As a secondary environmental benefits, our carbon-rich fertilizer sequesters carbon into the soil for hundreds of years; at the same time, our conversion process also curbs the particulate emissions from traditional open-field crop residue burning by more than 95%.
