Nairobi; Kenya: Micro-finance firm Juhudi Kilimo plans to establish presence in all counties to reach more small scale farmers. The social enterprise that undertakes micro-finance business in conjunction with donors, in its five-year strategic plan targets to reach to more than 100,000 farmers.
The plan to be implemented in rural areas will enable farmers acquire wealth-generating assets such as dairy cows, poultry and farm equipment. The company’s General Manager Shadrack Mutunga said they will help small scale farmers adopt innovative technologies with a view of boosting food production. He said the number of farmers receiving financial and technical assistance from his organisation will be increased from the current 40,000 to more than 100,000 in the next five years.
