INSTABUL – New Holland Agriculture’s local distributor in Kenya, CMC Motors Group Limited (CMC), has announced a major shift in its business strategy, which has seen it move away from the mass-market passenger vehicle segment in Kenya.
For over 75 years, CMC Motors Group Limited is an established name in automotive and agricultural sector with presence in East Africa including Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. Today, CMC continues to invest and refocus growth efforts towards the agriculture mechanization.
CMC’s change in strategy follows the Government agenda to transform and rapidly grow Kenya’s agriculture sector, which is the backbone of the East African economy, contributing approximately 33% of Kenya’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). CMC aims to further strengthen its agriculture sector interests in the region with plans to expand and continue selling its agricultural machinery portfolio.
New Holland will continue to provide the same service, products and parts offerings as well as support its customers through its ongoing partnership with CMC. There will be no change concerning the availability of New Holland’s products in this region.
Mr Özkan Eren, New Holland Business Director, Middle East & Africa said that New Holland has built a strong presence in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda through its long-term partnership with CMC.

“We have been at the forefront of the mechanization process, gaining an outstanding leadership. Now, we as New Holland are ready to meet the current growing demand in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda,” Mr Eren said.
“We will continue investing in technologies and products that match the specific needs of our farmers and it is certain that we will support our local partner, CMC on their new business strategy to remobilize their focus on agriculture mechanization.”
