Pricing & Rate Card
One number per acre, fixed in writing before we fly. Here is how it is built — and how to get the current card in your hands today.
How we price
Per acre, fixed before we fly
You get one number per acre, agreed in writing before the crew mobilises. No per-litre extras invented at the end, no surprise fuel line, no charge for the mapping that proves the job.
Broad-acre application work typically runs KES 900–1,200 per acre. Where you land in that band depends on contiguous acreage, terrain, water access, dosage volume and distance from our nearest hub — one 400-acre block is cheaper per acre than four 100-acre blocks an hour apart. Season contracts price below the band.
- Block rate. A fixed per-acre rate for broad-acre bookings above a minimum contiguous size.
- Small-block rate. Slightly higher below that threshold, because mobilisation cost spreads over fewer acres.
- Season contract bands. Commit acreage for the season and the rate improves as the band rises.
- Grouped bookings. Neighbours or scheme members who consolidate acreage are quoted as one block.
- Distance. Blocks far from our nearest operating hub carry a mobilisation component, often waived on large bookings.
Why the line items are not filled in here: the headline band above tells you the order of magnitude, but an honest per-acre number depends on your acreage, terrain, water access, dosage volume and travel distance — and the season contract tiers, wet-lease day rates and inclusions only make sense against a real block. Ask and you get the full card, fast.

What actually moves your price
So you can judge a quote — ours or anyone's — before you receive it:
- Contiguous acreage. One 400-acre block is cheaper per acre than four 100-acre blocks an hour apart.
- Water access. Clean water at the staging point keeps the rate down; a bowser adds cost.
- Obstacles and shape. Power lines, tree lines and awkward margins slow every pass.
- Dosage and volume. High-volume products mean more refills per acre.
- Distance from hub. Mobilisation is real cost; anchor bookings in a district reduce it for everyone.
- Repeat commitment. Season contracts price better than one-off callouts, and get scheduling priority.
