Kenya and Korea are jointly undertaking the development of the Africa Rice Cultivation Complex, which will be based in Mwea, Kirinyaga County.
The foreign government, through Korea Rural Community Cooperation, will oversee construction of a 65-ha scale Rice Seed Cultivation Complex that has already commenced.
The facility is scheduled for completion in 2028.
The project, being implemented by the Korea Program on International Agriculture (KOPIA) and the Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), is looking at producing high-yield rice seed and also increasing farming household income.
