Isiolo, Meru and Laikipia county growers are set to benefit from the intervention of the national government agencies in efforts to fast track the completion of cargo shades at the Isiolo International Airport. The agencies led by Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya (FPC Kenya), Directorate of Miraa and Pyrethrum and KEPHIS intend to expand the market for the fresh produce industry.
Small-scale farmers are the main targets, as the facility will enable them to reach out to domestic, regional (The East African Community) and global markets by cutting short the travel distance of the produce from the growers’ perspective.
