About the Organization

AgroTech Plus Limited is a forward-thinking agricultural technology company based in Kenya, committed to transforming African agriculture through innovative, data-driven, and climate-smart solutions. Our mission is to empower smallholder farmers and agribusinesses with access to cutting-edge technologies that boost productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve market access.

Our integrated solutions span precision agriculture, smart irrigation systems, digital extension services, carbon farming innovations, and solar-powered cold storage systems. By providing affordable, off-grid cold storage infrastructure, we help farmers and cooperatives extend the shelf life of perishables, reduce food waste, and enhance income from horticultural and dairy value chains.

AgroTech Plus leverages digital tools such as mobile applications, AI-powered advisory platforms, and real-time soil health diagnostics to support decision-making across the agricultural value chain. We work in close collaboration with governments, NGOs, research institutions, and development partners to scale impactful, locally adapted solutions that improve food security, climate resilience, and rural livelihoods across Sub-Saharan Africa.

We are driven by a vision of sustainable agriculture powered by innovation, with a special focus on building resilient, inclusive farming systems capable of thriving in the face of climate change.
