Governors from ten counties in Central Kenya are criticizing the federal government to include several farm products in the list of support through value addition. Under the Central Economic Region Block (CEREB), they have announced plans to engage the state so that the crops which include avocado and coffee could be added to the list.
According to Nyeri governor and Chair of the block Mutahi Kahiga, failure by the government to list the main crops from the region could affect farmers and traders. He identified the missing crops as coffee, avocado, pyrethrum, macadamia, bananas, potatoes, maize and wheat.
