KEY IN BOOSTING AGRICULTURE
"Previous editions
of these farming clinics have proven instrumental in shining a light on
the problems our farmers are facing and connecting them with experts and
other players in the industry to exchange minds on the most innovative
and hustle-free ways to grow food. The clinics have been a resounding
success, bringing farmers from all corners of the country together to
learn new forms of producing food," said Mr Nelson Maina, the Public
Relations and Communication manager at Elgon Kenya Ltd.
These farming
clinics which were initiated by Seeds of Gold Kenya and Elgon Kenya Ltd,
are key in boosting the country's agricultural productivity as through
them farmers get a platform through which they can acquire farming
extension services, agricultural inputs and the requisite knowledge on
accessing markets and financing for their agribusiness undertakings.
