Citrus fruits, especially oranges, are among the most profitable crops for Kenyan farmers today.
With high demand in both local and export markets, many smallholder farmers are turning to citrus farming as a sustainable source of income.
But the journey from seedling to harvest isn’t always smooth.
That’s where Plum Agrovet comes in, providing farmers with the right inputs, expert agronomic advice, and ongoing training to turn challenges into success stories.

Starting Right: Why Seed Quality Matters
Many farmers underestimate the impact of seed quality.
Using uncertified seedlings often leads to poor yields, pests, and diseases.
Plum Agrovet ensures farmers have access to certified citrus seedlings that are disease-resistant, fast-growing, and suitable for different Kenyan soils.
With the right start, the chances of success increase dramatically.
Training Farmers for Lasting Impact
Meet Gabriel Mutuku Ndambuki, a thriving orange farmer from Makueni.
Like many others, he struggled with inconsistent harvests until he connected with Plum Agrovet.
Through farmer training sessions, Gabriel learned how to:
- Prepare soil for optimal citrus root growth
- Apply fertilizers at the right stage for better fruiting
- Manage pests and diseases using safe agrovet solutions
- Prune and space trees for maximum yield
Today, Gabriel’s orchard not only feeds his family but also supplies oranges to the local market—proof that knowledge truly is power.
Smart Irrigation for Citrus Farming
Citrus trees require consistent moisture, but overwatering or underwatering can ruin a crop.
Plum Agrovet’s smart irrigation systems help farmers manage water efficiently, ensuring trees get the exact amount they need.
This means healthier plants, reduced water bills, and more reliable harvests.
Agrovet & Health Support for Stronger Farms
Beyond seeds and training, Plum Agrovet provides fertilizers, pesticides, and expert veterinary advice.
For citrus farmers, this means healthier soils, stronger trees, and fruits that meet market standards.
And with pharmacy services under the same roof, farming families can also access trusted healthcare support for their households.
Plum Agrovet’s experts provide farmers with the right inputs, expert agronomic advice, and ongoing training to turn challenges into success stories.
Farmers like Gabriel often highlight Plum’s unique advantage: expert graduates stationed at local shops who take time to educate, advise, and walk alongside farmers.
This combination of quality inputs + knowledge transfer is what makes Plum not just a supplier, but a true farming partner.
