Biofuel in a nutshell: The energy and cash potential in croton trees

Sheila and Martin Kamai are small-scale farmers in Nyeri County who sell nuts from the croton tree (locally known as mukinduri), and their only regret is that they did not stumble across their venture earlier.

During the last season, the farmers, who are in their mid-20s, produced over 40 tonnes of croton seeds from their 100 trees.
