Vihiga county commission 148 agriprenuers to Boost Agriculture

This is an exciting development for Vihiga County! The recruitment of 148 agripreneurs under the National Value Chain Development Project (NAVCDP) sounds like a significant step towards transforming the agricultural sector in the county.

Governor Dr. Wilber Ottichilo’s remarks emphasize the critical roles these agripreneurs will play in profiling and registering farming households, taking GPS coordinates of farms, mapping value chain actors, and offering training and extension services. It’s promising to see such initiatives aiming to shift agriculture from subsistence to commercial farming.

Additionally, addressing climate change impacts through climate-smart agriculture and reducing reliance on rain-fed farming are crucial for sustainability and better yields.

Commissioning motorbikes to aid in extension services for the remaining wards also highlights a practical approach to reaching more farmers effectively.
