Shalem Investments, a family-owned business based in Meru has opened a grain and pulses processing plant in the region promising ready market to about 20,000 cereal farmers.
The plant is one of the projects funded by the UK government through the FoodTrade East and Southern Africa programme.
Through the project, which eliminates middlemen from the cereal value chain, Shalem seeks to boost production and earning capacities of smallholder farmers in Meru.
“We train smallholder farmers in climate-smart agriculture, work with producer groups to build awareness of grades and standards, help them aggregate their produce and give them access to machinery and equipment,” said Ruth Kinoti, CEO Shalem.
