For a long time, Kenya had only one pig breeder, and with most pig farmers sourcing piglets from one supplier, this led to higher chances of in-breeding, while compromising production in terms of weight and ability to grow faster.
This is the situation Christine Miyogo found herself in when she ventured into the piggery business. Instead of going with what was the norm, she saw an opportunity to import boars and sows from South Africa, Zambia and Uganda for breeding and production.
