Five years ago, Samuel Maina established a tree nursery in Makuyu area with the determination to produce enough fruit tree seedlings to support the mission to mitigate climate change.

As the world prepares for COP27 meeting, Maina is faced with a challenge to secure a market for the 150,000 avocado seedlings in his Shitam Trees Nursery, Makuyu, Murang'a county.
