The shortage of raw materials remains a headache for most entrepreneurs. To ensure a steady supply of canola seeds, Agventure Pure Mountain, a cooking oil manufacturing company in Timau, Meru, sought to train and contract farmers.
The company owned by multiple shareholders, says the move has not only ensured that farmers retain the health of their soil through minimal tillage of their farms but also sustained supply of raw materials at its processing plant.
