Like in Pakistan, let’s raise stakes in key markets

Ortum in West Pokot produces about 2,000 tonnes of onion annually making it one of the onion powerhouses in Kenya. This puts its potential at par with Pakistan, another onion producing conflict-prone region.

Pakistan is among the top five onion producers in the world. Last year, Pakistan produced a record onion yield that resulted in an onion export worth at least Sh22.1 billion.
