The story

The cooperative was established in 1951, with most of its member factories constructed during the 1960s. It has supported thousands of smallholder farmers for decades by providing shared infrastructure and collective processing facilities.

Challenges

The cooperative faces significant pressure from climate change, which increases operational costs and necessitates ongoing farmer training for adaptation practices.

Innovations

The cooperative actively promotes climate resilience by providing subsidized seedlings of disease-resistant varieties like Ruiru 11 and Batian to its members.
