FHI injects $2.4 Million in Dudutech

by Brian Yatich

Biological pesticide manufacturer, Dudutech is set to benefit a USD 2.4 million investment in subsidiary business from Flamingo Horticulture Investments (FHI Ltd).

Dudutech will direct the additional funding towards an expansion of production facilities at the biofactory site in Naivasha, Kenya, including an additional 4ha of greenhouses and an insectary.

The project is aimed at increasing production capabilities to provide additional beneficial predatory insects availability to meet growth in demand for biologicals and satisfy the needs of major growers in Africa, Europe, and the Americas.

“Alongside this investment Dudutech will be recruiting into its management team, broadening its product range and increasing the scope of its international operations. This investment will allow us to grow our services to our customers in Africa, Europe, and the Americas and ensure availability of our beneficial predatory insects, especially during peak seasons, where demand has outstripped supply in the past,” Says Thomas Mason, Managing Director Dudutech.

To provide farmers with sustainable solutions, Dudutech’s team of over 250 technicians, masters and doctorate level scientists manufacture insect-killing fungi and beneficial predatory insects and mites, which are used as part of an Integrated Pest Management strategy, where farmers combine pesticides and traditional synthetic chemical pesticides to tackle agricultural pests and diseases.

The firm now plays a critical role in the supply of insect-killing fungi and beneficial predatory insects and mites for farmers globally.

“Under the stewardship of an outstanding management team, we believe that Dudutech has consistently demonstrated its ability to deliver on investment strategies” Martin Hudson, CEO Flamingo Horticulture Investments

Dudutech a is high growth biotechnology business in operation since 2001 that plays a critical role in allowing their many international and Kenyan customers and the Flamingo Group to farm sustainably and adhere to farming and produce regulations across the globe.
