Strategy

A Phased Approach to Agricultural Machinery Production

FAM Tractors intends to establish its manufacturing operations in Kenya through a structured and commercially sustainable development strategy.

The initial objective is to develop an assembly operation based on internationally sourced components and established tractor technologies.

As production volumes, technical capabilities and supplier relationships develop, the company aims to increase the proportion of locally manufactured and assembled components.

Industrial roadmap

  1. Phase 1

    Tractor Assembly

    Establish an initial tractor assembly operation using imported assemblies and components.

    Key priorities include developing assembly processes, quality assurance systems, technical training, supplier coordination and product testing capabilities.

  2. Phase 2

    Progressive Localisation

    Evaluate the local manufacture or sourcing of selected components, including sheet-metal parts, body panels, bonnets, fenders, wiring assemblies and other suitable items.

    Develop relationships with Kenyan engineering and industrial suppliers.

  3. Phase 3

    Expanded Manufacturing

    Progressively develop greater manufacturing depth, technical capabilities and regional supply-chain integration as production volumes and commercial conditions permit.
