Sweet potato farmers in Meru are looking forward to a brighter future following the establishment of a plant to aid in value addition as a way to boost their earnings.
Construction of a Sh50 million bakery and milling plant funded by the European Union (EU) through the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) is already changing fortunes of growers who now earn Sh2,500 per 50kg bag of orange fleshed sweet potatoes.
