With perfect weather, we can make Kenya a fruit country

A visit to South Africa is incomplete without a visit to the wine region in Western Cape Province. The wine country is beautiful and green with well-laid-out vineyards.

In my last visit, I noted other fruits beyond grapes: pears, apricots, apples, plums, oranges, blueberries, strawberries and pomegranates, among others. These fruits are found in our leading supermarkets, well labelled as imports from South Africa. Curiously, these fruits grow in Kenya.
