“We also have exclusive exclusivity with De Ruiter East Africa and other breeders. We are among the few rose farms growing the best breeds of red variety roses on large hectares such as Rhodos and Ever Red, “Hanif said.
They are cultivating fifteen hectares of Rhodos and they are planning to increase up to seventeen hectares as they move more to direct sales since they have witnessed an upsurge in demand on this variety worldwide.
Two hectare of their total area of the farm is dedicated to propagation, trial houses, packing area and staff accommodations while the rest of the farm is filled with roses’ greenhouses.
The farm compliments and cares for the environment by actively planting trees. To date, they have planted over 15,000 trees in the farm. The trees have become home to various varieties of birdlife, adding natural life to the farm.
The company runs an elaborate Corporate Social Responsibility scheme that provides complete welfare services to their employees in health, housing, education as well as in supplying clean water to the locals and allowing animals to graze on their piece of land.
Water conservation is key to the farm. They maintain their own water supply through boreholes and dams. The farm also runs and manages a proper waste water management system and chemical container disposal as certified by National Environment Management Authority (NEMA).
