Bomet County Government has prioritized five agriculture value chains in a move aimed at helping farmers and area residents to reap maximum profits from their produce, besides creating job opportunities.
Through the County Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Cooperatives, the county government is set to facilitate the establishment of value addition oriented programmes in the identified value chain clusters in the county, in collaboration with the National Agricultural Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP).
Speaking at Boita in Konoin Sub- County, Chief Officer for Agriculture Dr.
Kibet Sitienei said that already, stakeholder platforms drawn along the respective value chains have been formed and capacity building training has begun in earnest.
