NANDI AVOCADO FARMERS COOPERATIVE SOCIETY
The County Government of Nandi has shown progressive commitment in supporting farmer groups in cooperative societies.
This in line with HE Governor Sang transformational agenda of supporting farmers economically.
A Cooperative Society is a safe cushion to a farmer in facing any production challenge with minimal risks among it being a profitable space where he enjoys immense benefits from a collective pulling of resources and support.
And with the County Government renewed focus on emerging lucrative value chains, Nandi Avocado Farmers Cooperative Society has since been established with its introductory meeting held on Wednesday graced by the CO Cooperative Development, Dr. Bernadette Tiony at the Cooperative Development Building.
