Sugarcane farmers in Busia County have agreed on measures that will help to revive Busia Out-growers Company (BOCO) in order to ensure that they benefit from the farming of sugarcane.
Speaking during a sugarcane farmers' engagement forum at Kisoko in Nambale Sub-County, Mumias Sugar (2021) Limited Head of Operations and Administration Stephen Kihumba said that the forum resolved to conduct immediate registration of farmers prior to the election of new directors. "We have agreed to immediately do registration in the next two weeks to get a register that will be used during the election of directors.
The registration will be done at the nearest chief's office.
The election will be done in the next 21 days so that we get eligible leaders to champion farmers' affairs," he said.
