Zoomlion's Agricultural Machinery Gains Ground Across Kenya's Fields

Farmers and operators have embraced the tractors for their power, low fuel use, and simple controls, said Kenneth, a local Zoomlion service engineer. One storage site now holds almost 300 pieces of equipment including tractors, harvesters, and transplanting machines. Zoomlion's technology has also cut transportation costs. "After our tractors were deployed, operating costs for short-distance hauling dropped about 30 percent," said Zhu Wenxi, Zoomlion's Deputy General Manager for East Africa. For operators such as Malala, the change is personal, sharing: "We used to carry everything manually. Now the work is easier."

Farmers and operators have embraced the tractors for their power, low fuel use, and simple controls, said Kenneth, a local Zoomlion service engineer. One storage site now holds almost 300 pieces of equipment including tractors, harvesters, and transplanting machines. Zoomlion's technology has also cut transportation costs. "After our tractors were deployed, operating costs for short-distance hauling dropped about 30 percent," said Zhu Wenxi, Zoomlion's Deputy General Manager for East Africa. For operators such as Malala, the change is personal, sharing: "We used to carry everything manually. Now the work is easier."

To keep equipment running smoothly, Zoomlion stations Kenyan engineers in the sugar factory for immediate support. John said their constant presence has been invaluable. Service teams also train local technicians, preparing them to handle issues independently. Climate challenges have pushed further innovation. Frequent braking on muddy roads caused early wear, prompting Zoomlion to upgrade brake pads on later models. Service engineer Ken Gang recently returned from a technical training trip in China. The experience, he said, helps him teach Kenyan operators safer and more efficient practices.

As machinery spreads through Kenya's fields, farmers are seeing higher yields and lighter workloads. And as cooperation deepens, Zoomlion is helping shape a modern agricultural path for the region, one rooted in shared innovation and growing opportunity.
