At a street behind St Peter Clavers Catholic Church in downtown Nairobi, hundreds of small and large scale traders sell indigenous vegetables. Callen Kemunto has sold indigenous vegetables at a stall in the ever busy area for 18 years. Indigenous vegetables are highly sought because they are a rich source of vitamins and minerals. However, the biggest challenge in tapping into the potentially huge African indigenous vegetables market is the low production. Traders dealing in indigenous vegetables cite lack of specialised storage facilities at the markets as a major impediment in the business.
