Turning millet into snacks spices up traders’ revenues

For close to a decade, Elizaphan Gichangi was a trader in different varieties of cereals at his shop in Embu town. His stock included millets, rice and beans.

Although his business was doing well, it was not growing as fast as he desired. However, his break came when he found a technology that enabled him to turn the grains into snacks through popping, a process normally used to make popcorns.
