We are a Zimbabwean based diversified conglomerate predominantly involved in agro-industrial processing, irrigation, retailing, and property management and development. We have our roots in the Farmers' Cooperative Society formed in 1908 with the principal objective of marketing maize. Following the acquisition of the Farmers' Cooperative Society (Farmers' Coop), the cooperative evolved over the years to become a leading agro-based industrial holding company.  In order to achieve our goal to increase shareholder wealth that will continually outperform the market norm, CFI Holdings Limited is a highly focused, synergistic group that seeks to maintain a balance of activities that offer substantial growth. 

Seed co International Zambia Limited 'the African seed company' embraces the culture of being a quality orientated and integrity driven partner in the seed Industry. Quality we bring value, innovation and growth to your business. Seed Co develops and markets certified crop seeds, mainly hybrid maize seed, but also cotton seed, wheat, soya bean, barley, sorghum and groundnut seed.

The strategy of Syngenta is to develop crop programmes through innovative solutions that offer farmers not only single plant protection products, but also complete crop solutions to assist them in producing an outstanding crop in both quality and quantity limiting post harvest losses. For agriculture to remain sustainable, it is necessary to achieve a critical balance between increased productivity and environmental protection.   Our culture differentiates us, transforming agriculture through our people, culture of innovation and integrated offers. Our name, Syngenta, has two distinct roots. "Syn" stems from Greek. It reflects synergy and synthesis, integration and consolidating strengths. "Genta" relates to humanity and individuals. It stems from the Latin "gens", for people or community; so Syngenta means "Bringing People Together." 

Since 1977, MEA has been in the forefront of providing high-quality plant nutrition products to commercial and smallholder farmers all over Kenya. We are East Africa's Premier supplier of inputs for crop production empowering millions of farmers in Africa. We forge progressive partnerships in a journey spanning close to four decades. We grow, because we help you grow.Straight FertilizersStraight fertilizers impact soil fertility by providing a single major nutrient in the soil as part of the overall soil improvement strategy. These major nutrients (also known as macro-nutrients) consist of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and potassium. The chemical composition of the fertilizer is denoted as a percentage of the total nitrogen available per unit volume.MEA stocks a wide range of straight fertlizers sold directly in conveniently-packaged quantities, or as part of bulk and custom-made blendsCalcium Ammonium Nitrate (C.A.N, 26% N)This is a popular straight nitrogen fertilizer and an excellent source of nitrogen, which is readily available to plants due to its excellent solubility. Works well for all types of crops for pre-planting or as atop dressing application. Especially recomended for early application in cereals. Suitable for straight application and blending.  Sulphate of Ammonia (S/A, 21% N)Sulphate of ammonia is commonly used as a source of nitrogen and sulphur. It has good storage and handling qualities, and can be readily blended with other fertilizers. Provides excellent value where sulphur is considered neccessaryTriple Superphosphate (TSP, 46% P2O5)TSP is used in blending for the formulation of high analysis grade fertilizers. Can also applied directly to the soil as a single nutrient material. It’s excellent solubity ensures good plant uptake providing a good source of phosphorus to plant. Muriate of Potash (60% K2O)MOP has a high nutrient concentration and is therefore relatively price competitive with other forms of potassium. The chloride content of MOP can also be beneficial where soil chloride is low. Recent research has shown that chloride improves yield by increasing disease resistance in crops.Sulphate of Potash (50% K2O)Sulphate of potash is a fast-acting plant food and a rich source of potassium for encouraging flowering and fruiting in all plants, as well as promoting disease resistance. Highly recommended for vegetables, bulbs and crop-bearing trees.Urea (46% N)Urea contains an abundance of Nitrogen, which favours plant and stem growth in all plants. It can be applied to soil as a solid or solution or to certain crops as a foliar spray.Over the years, we have expanded our service capacity from importation and distribution to blending / bagging of custom fertilizer formulation, farmer education and extension support services, as well as testing and research services. We are here to guide plant-growers to apply modern scientific methods toward making the most of their land, water and financial resources to grow high-quality products in responsible and sustainable ways Our passion and dedication to the cause of empowering the farming community through end-to-end soil fertility management solutions has been immensely rewarding. Our state of the art fertilizer production facility in Nakuru, Kenya, is the only one if its kind in East Africa. In addition, we have set up a fully-accredited testing centre, where we carry out soil, water and tissue analysis for farmers at affordable rates. Accordingly, we now have the capacity to produce fertilizer formulations that suit a whole range of crops grown under different soil types and agro-ecological zones at a rate of 1,200 metric tonnes per day. No problem can be solved from the same level of thinking that created it." - Albert Einstein Africa's population is projected to grow from 973 million in 2008 to 1,800 million by 2050 In these rapidly advancing economies, the average size of arable land is limited and continously shrinking to due to a rise in urban settlement and industrial installations. The challenge here is that of meeting rising food demands taking into account a host of steep production constraints. In response, we at MEA believe that effecient production and distribution of quality plant nutrition products aided with scientific problem-solving and effective extension systems are key to meeting this challenge. Accordingly, we envision ourselves as the leading provider of soil fertility management solutions in Africa, helping crop farmers feed a growing population through groundbreaking research and innovation, extensive logistic reach and close, long-term, collaborative relationships with crop producers of every scale.
