A recent announcement by a warehousing firm of plans to spend more than Sh7 billion in storage facilities points to the symbiotic future of the agriculture and construction sectors.
Graded as category A, the facility on six acres of land is touted as the most advanced and efficient in the region. The choice of location of the project is telling. At only 20km from Nairobi’s CBD, it is nestled on a 5,000-acre prime land whose coffee bushes are giving way to a city with housing, schools and a logistics complex with more than 50 local and international firms.
