Agronomic Overview & Specifications
Feed is the biggest cost on any dairy or livestock farm, and losing fodder to rot, mould or dry seasons cuts straight into your profit. Symnet supplies high-quality silage bags in Kenya that help farmers preserve animal feed efficiently and affordably, so their animals eat well every month of the year.
Our UV-treated silage bags are made from durable, airtight material that protects silage from air, moisture and sunlight. Nutrients stay locked in and shelf life is extended, giving you consistent, high-quality feed when pasture runs out.
Why Kenyan Farmers Are Switching to Silage Bags
Building silos or digging silage pits takes money, space and heavy machinery. Silage bags are a cheaper, more flexible alternative: portable, economical and needing almost no infrastructure, so they suit both small-scale dairy farmers and large commercial livestock enterprises.
Who Are Our Silage Bags For?
- Smallholder dairy farmers looking to boost milk yields
- Commercial dairy and beef farms
- Goat and sheep farmers
- Farmer groups, cooperatives, NGOs and agricultural projects

Commonly Integrated Solutions
Solar Dryers
Post-harvest losses claim up to 40% of agricultural harvests in Kenya due to unhygienic open-air drying, pest infestation, and rough transit. Symnet Agro Solutions provides complete, turnkey post-harvest management equipment: enclosed solar dryers that dry crops 3X faster without dust or rain damage, stackable food-grade harvest crates that protect soft produce, heavy-gauge UV tarpaulins, and multi-layer chemical-free hermetic storage bags that preserve grains for up to 2 years. Solar drying as productive use Produce that would rot in the glut season can be dried, packed and sold for months afterwards. The sun does the drying for free, and the farmer ends up with a product to sell rather than a loss to count. More on how we approach PURE .
Plastic Crates
Post-harvest losses are one of the biggest threats to a farmer’s income. Tomatoes get crushed in sacks, French beans bruise in transit, and produce that looked perfect in the field arrives at market damaged and underpriced. Symnet supplies durable, food-grade plastic crates in Kenya that protect your harvest from farm to market and help you get the best price for every kilo. Our crates are made from food-grade HDPE plastic and UV-treated to withstand the Kenyan sun. They are stackable for safe transport, nestable to save space when empty, and come in a range of basic colours. Who Uses Our Plastic Crates? Tomato and vegetable farmers French bean and export horticulture growers Fruit farmers and aggregators Market traders, wholesalers and retailers Hotels, schools and institutional kitchens Cooperatives, NGOs and value-chain projects Why Buy from Symnet Agro Solutions?

Solar Freezers
Every farmer and trader knows the feeling: the evening milk that cannot reach the cooler in time, the tilapia that must be sold cheaply before noon, or the meat that spoils when the power goes off overnight. In the year to June 2026, Kenya Power customers averaged 3.91 power interruptions a month, almost four times the regulator's target of 1.10. In many rural areas there is no grid connection at all. Even where power is reliable, it is expensive. Domestic users pay a base rate of KSh 18.57 per unit before fuel and forex charges are added. A conventional freezer running day and night quietly eats into your profits. A Symnet solar freezer runs directly on sunlight and a battery. It keeps your produce frozen or chilled through the night and through outages, with no monthly electricity bill. You can store your harvest safely, wait for a better price and sell when you choose, not when spoilage forces you to. What You Can Store Milk : chill evening milk overnight for morning collection (use fridge mode, milk should be cooled, not frozen) Fish : tilapia, omena, Nile perch and sea fish from Lake Victoria and the coast Meat and poultry for butcheries and poultry farmers Fruit and vegetables : pulp, chopped vegetables and berries for value addition Ice and cold drinks for fish traders, shops and kiosks Who It’s For Dairy farmers and milk collectors Fishermen and fish traders Butcheries and poultry farmers Shops, kiosks, hotels and restaurants hit by blackouts Cooperatives, women’s and youth groups, and NGOs Note for clinics: vaccines need WHO-prequalified medical refrigerators. Talk to us about the right solution. Why Buy from Symnet? We size the freezer, panels and battery to your daily load and location, install the complete system with our own team, and support you through our Nairobi head office, Bungoma branch and agro dealer network. Book a free consultation and we will recommend the right solar freezer and kit for your farm or business. Solar cooling as productive use Cold storage gives a farmer or trader time, and time means choosing when and to whom to sell. Running it on solar removes the power bill and keeps it working where the grid is weak or missing. More on how we approach PURE .
