Representing His Excellency Governor (Dr.) Moses N. Badilisha Kiarie, Chief Officer for Agriculture Mr. David Wakaba presides over a Nyandarua pyrethrum caucus in Karau Ward, Ol’Kalou Sub-County, aimed at rallying support and strategizing for revival of the County’s pyrethrum sector.
Issues discussed included sensitization of farmers on benefits of increasing pyrethrum acreage and identification of strategies to overcome challenges hindering the sector’s growth.
The Governor called for collaboration to rejuvenate the once-thriving value chain, run down by mismanagement and outright theft.
Present were farmers, representatives from key industry players and staff from the Department of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries.
