Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) will distribute 20 threshers (machines for separating grains from chaff) and 400 grain drying sheets to first-time sorghum farmers in Western and Nyanza regions in latest efforts to ramp up production volumes.

The brewer is targeting to recruit more youth and farmer groups in Kisumu, Siaya, Homa Bay, Busia and Migori counties to take up sorghum farming as it rolls out plans to open the newly built Sh15 billion plant later in the month.
