Through the support of the Governor H.E Wisely Rotich, Elgeyo Marakwet has positioned itself as the leading exporter of avocado.
The County government will continue providing market linkages to farmers across the County.
Yesterday, officials from Saki Farm, a Nakuru based horticultural crops marketer visited Kapchelos, Kapsowar Ward to assess the crop and
they were impressed.
Saki Farm will be buying a kilo of avocado at Sh100 at the lowest through Kapchelos Cooperative Society. Farmers will be paid through their phones within 24 hours.
Saki Farm will also provide fly traps to farmers.
With one avocado tree producing about 60kgs of avocado, a famer can earn upto 60,000 shillings a season from 10 trees.
We are at the final stages of registering Elgeyo marakwet Avocado cooperative.
Thumbs up to the people of Kapchelos village for taking the risk. It’s now paying!.
