“Tired of the fruits with more demanding care? Try jack fruit. It can be produced under adverse weather conditions,” these are the words of a farmer in Homa Bay County who discovered the trade 10 years ago.

Jackfruits are not common in the African orchards. However for Clement Kotonya, the fruit has been perfect for the less productive loamy soil in Imbo village.
