I also flagged off a truck to Kisii County, donated by @AgriSocietyOfKe. The truck will play a major role in marketing, through produce transportation. This will increase incomes and improve livelihoods.
@kilimoKE is also in the process of facilitating small scale farmers to acquire machinery at affordable prices, to improve productivity and also enable the youth to be players in various agriculture value chains.
