Red pepper farming is increasingly becoming one of the hottest crops for farmers in south Rift region. One of the farmers who is beginning to reap the benefit of the chilli he planted in May last year in his two acres portion of his vast land is John Cheramgoi from Manaret village in Sotik Constituency, Bomet County.
“I began by planting the chilli seeds in a seedbed and after one month I uprooted the sprouting seedlings and planted them in the main farm which I had thoroughly prepared by ploughing using a tractor at the total cost of Sh8,000,” he said.
