On February 17, 2022, the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) signed a contract with Unga Farm Care to facilitate farmers' access to quality animal feeds at its warehouse in Eldoret.
Unga Farm Care is a major manufacturer and marketer of animal nutrition and health products, including livestock feeds, cattle minerals, feed premixes, and concentrates.
The partnership is part of NCPB's efforts to establish an agriculture hub model under the reforms, which will provide a one-stop-shop for farmers to obtain agricultural inputs, farm machinery, agricultural advisory services, and post-harvest management services.
NCPB Managing Director Joseph Kimote said the collaboration will support farmers in improving animal husbandry, leading to better incomes and supporting the country to achieve the goals of the food and nutrition security pillar of the Big Four Agenda.
Unga Farm Care General Manager Dickson Jawichre added that the partnership will enable the company to improve the distribution of its products by taking a distribution point closer to its farmers.
