Fortunes multiplied thanks to value addition machines

Makueni Mango value addition project run by JKUAT researchers. They use modern technology.

Tucked away on a small hill overlooking vast mango fields in Kithoni, Makueni County, is a mango processing plant that is using technology to fight post-harvest losses in the mango value chain.

The community-based facility is, perhaps, the second biggest sensation for Makueni residents in less than a year after Governor Kivutha Kibwana launched Makueni Fruit Processing Plant, the mango processing project in the county.
