Kingsly Njoroge used to grow pyrethrum, a cash crop that had a ready market. But along the way things changed and the farmer from Ndefo Village in Njoro Sub County had to make abrupt change.

Njoroge, 58, dropped the venture eight years ago following frustration of delayed payments and lack of market. The high cost of production was also a headache.
