NANDI COUNTY EXPLORES PYRETHRUM FARMING PARTNERSHIP WITH KENTEGRA
Nandi County is set to boost its agricultural sector through a strategic partnership with Kentegra Pyrethrum Company Ltd, aimed at reviving and expanding pyrethrum farming in the region.
Earlier today, the county hosted a delegation from Kentegra for a courtesy visit, during which discussions centered on integrating pyrethrum as a key cash crop. This initiative aligns with the county’s broader commitment to diversifying agriculture, creating sustainable income streams for farmers, and enhancing economic resilience.
Through this collaboration, farmers in Nandi will gain access to high-quality pyrethrum seedlings, specialized training, and guaranteed market opportunities. A key highlight of the partnership will be the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), under which Kentegra will contract farmers on Minimum Guaranteed Returns. This structured approach ensures price stability and profitability, protecting farmers from market uncertainties.
Governor Stephen Sang welcomed the partnership, emphasizing its potential to transform the county’s agricultural sector.
“The introduction of pyrethrum farming in Nandi is a game-changer for our farmers. This partnership will provide them with a stable and profitable cash crop, boosting their incomes and improving their livelihoods. We are committed to working with Kentegra to ensure the success of this initiative,” Governor Sang said.
Nandi County remains committed to fostering partnerships that enhance agricultural productivity and improve livelihoods. With this initiative, farmers can look forward to a prosperous future in pyrethrum farming.
