Kwale cassava farmers are looking forward to a brighter future after the commissioning of a small-scale cassava processing plant. The plant was officially opened last week by Governor Fatuma Achani at Magodi in the Msambweni subcounty.
The factory has the capacity to process about one tonne of cassava flour per day. It also provides peeling, drying and milling services for small-scale farmers. The objective of the programme is to boost cassava production and improve livelihoods through regenerative agriculture and modern farming techniques in the region.
