With three bundles of Cape gooseberries dangling from his fingers, Chacha Rioba stretches his arm as a vehicle approaches on the Nakuru-Eldoret highway.

The car slows down and Mr Rioba is swiftly joined by four colleagues in thrusting the wildfruits inside the driver's open window. They all hope for a sale.
