The State Department for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Principal Secretary (PS), Susan Mang'eni, has urged the residents of Busia County to embrace the farming of edible oil crops.
Speaking at Nasewa County Aggregated Industrial Park after meeting with the Nasewa Cooperative societies, saccos and agripreneurs from the area, Mang'eni said embracing this farming will help the government to reduce the money it spends to import oil. "Busia County has a lot of potential for the farming of edible oils.
In our country, we spend close to Sh150 billion yearly to import edible oil raw materials, which does better in this region.
If we can embrace that farming, a lot of this money can remain with us here," she said.
