Farmers in Kirinyaga are now earning money from manufacturing animal feeds in an initiative supported by the county government. The initiative is part of Governor Anne Waiguru’s Wezesha Kirinyaga economic empowerment programme that is transforming the lives of residents through various agricultural projects. Last month, Waiguru said her administration has been supporting dairy farmers to produce quality feeds as well as upgrade their breeds through the provision of quality artificial insemination services. “As part of our Wezesha Kirinyaga economic empowerment programme, we are supporting farmers to increase their income with the aim of uplifting their living standards,” the governor said. Apart from dairy farmers, other groups that have benefited from the programme include those involved in poultry, tomatoes, avocados, fish, pig production and beekeeping.
