CFAO invests in farm mechanisation with new Mombasa machinery hub

CFAO Kenya has deepened its investment in agricultural mechanisation with the opening of a new Case IH agricultural machinery showroom at Mnazi Mmoja in Mombasa, signalling growing confidence in Kenya’s farming sector and the coastal region’s role in food production.

The facility, described as one of the largest recent investments in farm equipment infrastructure at the Coast, brings world-class mechanisation solutions closer to farmers, reducing reliance on imported equipment and long supply chains.

Vincent DeLassange, Vice President for CNH Middle East and Africa, said Kenya remains one of Africa’s most dynamic agricultural markets, noting that the Mombasa facility demonstrates long-term commitment to food security.

“We are keen to build partnerships with Kenyan farmers and support the country's agricultural transformation through world-class technology and continuous technical support,” he said.

CFAO Group Chairman and Country Delegate Ambassador Dennis Awori said the showroom reflects confidence in both Kenya’s agricultural potential and Mombasa’s position as a gateway to the wider East African region.

“This world-class facility demonstrates our long-term commitment to supporting Kenya’s farmers with the technology and services they need to compete globally. The mechanisation is key to food security, job creation and rural prosperity,” Awori said,

Mombasa Deputy Governor Francis Thoya said the project aligns with the county’s push to attract private investments that enhance yields, create jobs and strengthen food security.

The showroom will stock a wide range of Case IH tractors, from compact models for small-scale and speciality farming to high-horsepower machines designed for large commercial operations. The portfolio spans 55 to 700 horsepower, offering farmers greater choice across diverse farming systems.

Beyond tractors, the facility will supply implements such as ploughs, disc harrows, sprayers and planters, supported by factory-trained technicians and genuine spare parts to minimise downtime.
