In his many travels as Kenya Air Force communication officer, Stephen Wang’ombe, 55, not only got exposed to the ways of other cultures, but also had a taste of different culinary. And it was fish that awed Wang’ombe that when he was discharged from the military, he decided to venture into fish farming.

“During my travels, I met well-established fish farmers in Western Kenya who were reaping highly from breeding fish. I decided to try the project and here I am, earning money from my seven fish ponds at a low production cost,” Wang’ombe tells ‘Smart Harvest’.
