Today, farmers from Kisiara in Bureti Sub-County and neighboring communities received certified pineapple seedlings from the State Department of Agriculture.

This transformative initiative reflects the government’s commitment to strengthening agribusiness by equipping farmers with superior planting materials. The distribution of these seedlings is expected to significantly boost productivity, enhance household incomes, and promote sustainable agricultural development across the region.

By empowering farmers with quality inputs, this program not only advances food security but also positions the South rift Region as a hub for commercial pineapple farming and economic growth.

In the afternoon, I had the honor of commissioning a water project at Kapcholyo School and the surrounding community, a transformative investment that expands access to safe and clean water.
