The county government of Elgeyo Marakwet is banking on a proposed Sh2 billion processing plant to stabilise prices of potatoes.
The factory, which is expected to be up and running within six months, is a partnership between the UK and Select Fresh Produce Kenya Limited, a local grower and exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables. The project will be implemented through the Sustainable Urban Economic Development Programme (SUED) of the UK, in collaboration with Iten municipality.
