The County Steering Committee for the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP), led by Agriculture Executive Joyce Mutua, embarked on a visit to the Anglican Church of Kenya Resort Salama agro-enterprise. The purpose of the visit was to explore potential partnership opportunities aimed at enhancing agricultural practices and profitability among small-scale farmers in Makueni County.
The Anglican Church of Kenya Resort Salama agro-enterprise is renowned for its diversified farming activities, including apiculture (beekeeping), poultry, horticulture, and pig farming. These activities not only serve as a primary food supplier for the resort but also exemplify best practices in agricultural diversification.
Agriculture Executive Joyce Mutua expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing the unique model of diversified farming offered by the Anglican Church agro-enterprise. She highlighted the potential benefits for local farmers, citing opportunities for skill development and knowledge transfer that could significantly improve productivity and profitability.
The partnership aims to leverage the expertise and resources of the Anglican Church agro-enterprise to train farmers in Makueni County on best agricultural practices. By equipping farmers with these skills, the county seeks to empower them to achieve sustainable agricultural growth, reduce food insecurity, and enhance economic resilience within the community.
As discussions progress, stakeholders anticipate that the collaboration will foster a supportive environment for agricultural innovation and development, ultimately contributing to the overall prosperity of farmers in Makueni County.
