Siaya farmers turn to sorghum as EABL comes calling

BY GEORGE OLWENYA 

 When East African Breweries Ltd (EABL) visited Siaya County, last year, on a mission to look for new suppliers of sorghum for beer production, lady luck seemed to have smiled on the farmers.

  Previously the farmers grew sorghum for subsistence but EABL is now contracting them for commercial farming. This is likely to help reduce rampant poverty in the county.
