Taita Taveta County is set to strengthen data-driven decision-making across agriculture, mining, land management and urban planning through the newly launched Earth Observation Innovation Laboratory at TAITA TAVETA UNIVERSITY - VOI, which will provide access to satellite data and advanced technology to guide planning and development across these key sectors.

Speaking during the launch, H.E Dr. Andrew Mwadime - Wakujaa, EGH, Governor Taita Taveta County said the satellite imagery will help identify mineral-rich areas, map mining activities and guide land allocation.

He added that in agriculture, it will support crop mapping, yield prediction and early warning systems to improve planning and farmers' support.

The technology will also strengthen urban planning through spatial mapping, monitoring urban expansion and protecting wildlife corridors. Other potential applications include property mapping, revenue collection, road infrastructure and waste management.

Governor Mwadime added that the County Government will work closely with Taita Taveta University and the Kenya Space Agency through a formal collaboration framework covering data sharing, research, pilot projects and capacity building for county officers.

Kenya Space Agency Director General Maj. Gen. Hillary Kipkosgey described the laboratory as a significant investment in Kenya's space innovation ecosystem, noting that it will bridge gaps in infrastructure and technical capacity needed to process and analyse satellite data.

Supported through the European Union-Africa Space Partnership Programme, with funding from the European Union and the French Government through the Data Governance in Africa Initiative, the facility will also provide opportunities for students, researchers and young innovators to develop solutions to real-world challenges.

Taita Taveta University Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Administration, Finance and Planning, Prof. Kiptanui Too, said the university secured the opportunity to host the facility through a competitive national process, emerging among only two successful institutions out of 17 applicants.

Equipped with close to 26 terabytes of satellite data, high-performance computing infrastructure and over 100 terabytes of storage, the laboratory is expected to strengthen research, innovation and practical solutions while positioning Taita Taveta as an emerging centre for earth observation technology.

Dairy farmers in Taita Taveta County have been urged to strengthen their cooperatives, increase milk production and prepare to benefit from the planned farmer-led management of the New KCC Miritini plant.

Speaking during a dairy farmers' engagement bringing together farmers from Taveta, Mwatate, Voi and Taita Sub-Counties, CECM for Livestock Production, Dawson Katuu Mzenge urged farmers to embrace unity and collective marketing through cooperatives. He noted that past generations benefited from working together, calling on farmers to change their mindset, strengthen cooperatives and tap into the county's potential to boost dairy production and improve their incomes.

Currently Taita Taveta produces about 10,000 litres of milk daily collected at collection centers from 6,500 farmers and over 10,000 dairy cattle. By uniting through cooperatives, farmers can overcome broker-related challenges and raise production to 195,000 litres daily . At KSh 65 per litre, this could generate KSh 12.68 million daily (KSh 4.63 billion annually).

To boost milk production, the County Government, through NAVCDP and FLLoCA, has established 14 fodder demonstration sites and a 10-acre fodder multiplication centre, respectively. Farmers are also being encouraged to grow Juncao grass, Super Napier and Sugargraze to improve animal feeding and increase milk yields.

CCO for Livestock Production Mcharo Mwalugha noted that although the county has more than 300 cooperatives, only about 150 are operational, including 11 dairy cooperatives urging farmers to strengthen their cooperatives through active participation and better governance.

During the meeting, farmers elected a new committee to lead the Taita Taveta Dairy Cooperatives Union. The union is expected to strengthen dairy cooperatives and work with counterparts in Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi towards establishing the Pwani Dairy Cooperative Union which will support efforts to establish a farmer-owned dairy enterprise at the New KCC Miritini plant.

The elected officials are Chairman Job Mwakesi, Vice Chairperson Josephine Cherongo, Secretary Apolnary Tulu and Treasurer Thomas Matandi. Committee members are Danson Mwamburi, Perpetual Mghoi, Margaret Mwang'ombe, Nashon Mwadime and Rose Mwasi.
