I was involved in the Frigoken Ltd. project which established an extensive network of centres in Muranga District providing extension services to the farmers whilst guaranteeing a market and price for the high quality output the farmer’s delivered for “French Beans”- this resulted in a positive impact on the farmers livelihood.
Has the project been expanded further? Any new crops?Does anyone know?
