Our Farms
Our seeds and cuttings are being produced at farms that are located in the best climates. Our most important farms are located in Kenya, Ethiopia, Türkiye, Guatemala and the United States. Once the cuttings are being produced, they are shipped off to our young plant production (YPL) site or directly to the growers. Our seeds are processed first at one of our processing facilities and then sent to our YPL site, or directly to our customers.
In the area where we have our production farms, we are committed to the environment and the surrounding communities. Many of our farms are covered by the Global G.A.P. certificate. Below you will find more information about the farms.
Kenya
Kenya Cuttings Ltd was integrated into Syngenta in 2007. It is situated 60 km from Nairobi and lies close to the equator on the rich Kenyan agricultural green belt of coffee, pineapples and tea to the north.
Today, the farm covers nearly 45 hectares (ha) with a greenhouse area of 27 ha, producing both Pelargonium and bedding. The site hosts a extra elite facility for supply of Pelargonium Nucleus starter material to our other farms and an Accredited Naktuinbouw –(ASLN) Pathology lab that also supports our other farms.
We continue to create a lasting impact on the neighboring community through provision of medical services (to our staff through an onsite clinic), clean drinking water, educational institutions infrastructure improvements, environmental conservation efforts, and more.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia Cuttings została założona w 2005 roku przez firmę Fischer i przejęta przez Syngentę w 2008 r. Obecnie gospodarstwo obejmuje 108 ha i produkuje sadzonki pelargonii i mandewili. Rocznie produkuje się na eksport około 29 mln sadzonek pelargonii i 48 mln sadzonek mandewili. Warto dodać, że farma wspiera 30 sierocińców i finansuje żywność oraz opłaty szkolne dla dzieci znajdujących się w trudnej sytuacji.
Turkey
In our farm in Burça we produce high quality seeds. We started the business in Türkiye by cooperating with small businesses and in 2009 a modern facility was built over 5 hectares. At this global seed production site over 1,3 billion seeds can be produced of our Pansy, Viola, Cyclamen, Ranunculus and Primula during the seven month peak season. Besides that, the site also provides training for small local farmers about business, health, safety and protecting the environment.

In the farms Jardines Mil Flores and Las Florientes seeds are produced of Begonia, Impatiens walleriana, Petunia and more. The third farm in Guatemala is Kapok plantas and this is the productions site where cuttings are produced of Lantana, Calibrachoa, Petunia and Vebena.
