Greenhouse film across Africa — PO and PE covers from the Mediterranean coast to sub-Saharan farms
From the Mediterranean coast of Egypt and Morocco to the highlands of Kenya and the farms of Nigeria and South Africa, our PO and PE covers are built for extreme UV, arid heat, and sand-laden winds.

Why African Growers Choose Our Film

Much of Africa runs on intense solar load, high daytime temperatures, and — in the north and along the Sahel — abrasive wind-borne dust. Surface-treated film fails early under that combination. Our 5-layer co-extruded film carries UV stabilisers and anti-fog agents inside the resin, so performance holds for the full service life instead of degrading after one hot season.

☀️
Extreme solar load
High-grade UV stabilisers built into the resin for multi-season life under strong sun.
💧
Highland humidity
Built-in anti-fog (PO) for equatorial highland zones (Kenya, Ethiopia).
🌱
Long commercial cycles
PO film lasts 3–5 years versus 1–2 seasons for economy PE.

FAQ — Greenhouse & Mulch Film for Africa

Which film should I use under extreme UV and heat (Egypt, Morocco)?

For North Africa and other high-solar regions we recommend PO film at 150–200 µ with a high UV-stabiliser grade built into the resin, so it survives multiple hot seasons instead of degrading after one.

Do you ship greenhouse film to African ports?

Yes. We ship by sea freight to Alexandria, Port Said and Damietta (Egypt), Casablanca and Tangier (Morocco), Mombasa (Kenya), Durban and Cape Town (South Africa), and Lagos/Apapa (Nigeria), both FCL and consolidated LCL.

PO vs PE film for African climates — which is better?

Under intense UV and long commercial cycles, PO film’s built-in UV stabilisers and anti-fog last far longer, making it the better long-term choice. PE film is the economy option for shorter seasonal use.

Can film resist sand-laden wind (Sahel, coastal Egypt)?

Our heavy-duty PO and PE grades use high tear strength and abrasion-resistant outer layers to better withstand dusty, windy conditions common in North and West Africa.

Can roll printing be in Arabic or French?

Yes. For distributors we offer private-label rolls with Arabic or French printing, plus custom width, colour, and additive packages.

What certifications do you provide for import clearance?

We are ISO 9001 and SGS certified, with REACH and TÜV options. Certificates are provided on request to support your customs clearance.

Do you also supply mulch film for open-field crops?

Yes. We supply black mulch film and black & silver mulch film for tomatoes, watermelon, onions, and maize across Africa.
