Farmers in West Pokot are now growing grafted mangoes in a bid to cope with harsh effects of climate change and boost their incomes.

In Sigor Sub County, the Smart Harvest met a team of farmers growing grafted mangoes, pawpaws and watermelons.

Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) Managing Director Sammy Naporos says they have distributed more than two million mango seedlings of different varieties and other fruits to boost agroforestry and encourage rehabilitation of the soil.
