We are proud to share that banana farmers from Taveta have just concluded a ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ two-day exchange visit to Meru, where they engaged in hands-on learning about advanced banana production and marketing strategies.
๐ฅ The farmers visited the bustling Ntherene market, interacting with local banana traders. They also had the unique opportunity to tour a banana processing firm and meet Kenyaโs best youth banana farmer, gaining insights on manure application, irrigation techniques, and efficient market access.
๐ Whatโs exciting is that Meru's consistent production of high-quality bananas has attracted numerous buyers, ensuring a steady market and premium prices for farmers. This exchange is a key step toward boosting productivity and economic empowerment for our farmers! ๐๐ช
