Farmers who took a leap of faith and defied poor rain forecasts to plant sorghum in Nyanza and Busia will produce up to 8,000 tonnes of the grain, according to estimates.
Nearly 15,000 farmers contracted by East African Maltings Limited, a subsidiary of the East African Breweries Limited (EABL) went against the weatherman’s warnings that the 30-day delay in March rains could affect crop production.
