A word from Martin Montbarbon
General Manager EV Kenya
Hello to all!
I am Martin Montbarbon. I come from a small village in the south of France and I studied at the KEDGE BUSINESS SCHOOL in Marseille
After two experiences in sales at Pernod-Ricard end Danone, I wanted to return living abroad. That’s how I discovered the Elephant Vert Group, which was offering a V.I.E position in Kenya. I was seduced by the mission that aimed at promoting and developing the use of organic products for a healthy and sustainable agriculture. After my first two years, I stayed as sales manager of the structure and then have been the Director since December 2021.
I enjoy working with competent and committed people, all of whom are convinced of the benefits of our activity in the region and for future generations.
We have been able to capitalize on a constant growth of our activity for 4 years in terms of sales and industrial production. We have great ambitions to become the leading player in organic inputs in East Africa. This is what my teams and I are working on every day with great enthusiasm.

Organization et governance
EV Kenya is organized around three main areas: a sales and marketing department, itself divided by major regions, an R&D and industrial department supported by regulatory expertise, and administrative departments (HR, accounting, legal).
Complete and expert in each of its fields, it expresses the subsidiary’s two major ambitions: to develop our market share and to support the group’s R&D strategy in terms of biocontrol.
