According to Makueni governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr, mango farmers should continue to invest in agriculture to boost the economy. Kilonzo said the ongoing first national mango conference and exhibition in Makueni County was discussing among other issues the need for establishing a fund similar to coffee’s Cherry Fund. This, he said, will boost production of the crop not only in the county but across the country. He said: “We want every county to export mangoes. But, the people who grow it don’t receive any money.”The governor spoke during the first ever mango conference and exhibition in Wote, Makueni County on Tuesday.
