Rooted in Community, Driven by Purpose

The Grand Shujaa Farm was built with community at its core. We believe that a farm's success must be measured not only by crop yields and revenue — but by the lives it transforms and the communities it lifts.

Operating in Muhoroni, Ombeyi, Nyando, and surrounding regions — areas that have long depended on sugarcane farming with limited economic diversification — we are introducing new employment opportunities, skills development, and agricultural income streams that empower local people.

Through training, mentorship, farm operations, and supply chain opportunities, we aim to empower communities and promote rural economic growth — contributing to Kenya's Big Four Agenda on food security and affordable housing.

Community Programmes

Structured initiatives designed to create lasting economic and social impact in the communities we serve.

👷

Youth Employment Programme

Targeted recruitment and employment of young people from Ombeyi, Muhoroni, and Nyando in farm operations — including poultry management, logistics, and farm maintenance — with preference for first-time job seekers and school leavers.

📚

Agricultural Training & Mentorship

Practical training programmes covering modern poultry management, livestock husbandry, tractor operation, fertilizer application, and agribusiness management — equipping participants with in-demand skills that open doors beyond the farm.

🌾

Outgrower & Contract Farming

Formal outgrower and contract farming arrangements linking smallholder farmers to our procurement and logistics operations — providing guaranteed markets, fair pricing, input support, and agronomic guidance to improve farmer livelihoods.

🚛

Supply Chain Inclusion

Local businesses, transporters, suppliers, and service providers are actively integrated into our supply chain — ensuring that economic benefits spread across the broader community rather than concentrating in one enterprise.

Transforming Youth Into Agribusiness Leaders

Kenya's youth unemployment challenge is real — and nowhere more acute than in rural areas like Muhoroni, Ombeyi, and Nyando, where limited economic diversification has historically confined young people to subsistence farming or urban migration.

The Grand Shujaa Farm is designed to be a genuine employer and trainer of youth. Beyond wages, we invest in building skills, knowledge, and entrepreneurial mindsets that enable young people to succeed whether they stay with us, start their own farms, or pursue agribusiness careers elsewhere.

We see youth not as cheap labour, but as the future of Kenyan agriculture. The skills and confidence they build here will shape Kenya's food security for decades to come.

Stories of Change

Hear directly from farmers, youth, and community members who have been part of the Grand Shujaa Farm journey.

Before Grand Shujaa Farm, I had no idea how to run a poultry business. The training they gave me changed everything. I now manage 200 chicks from my home and earn a regular income.

The outgrower programme gave our cooperative guaranteed cane prices for the whole season. We could plan our expenses, pay school fees, and even save. That kind of certainty changes lives.

Joseph Omondi

I was about to leave for Nairobi when I got a call about work on the farm. Two years later, I am a tractor operator supervisor. I did not need to leave my community to build a career.
