Sunflower farmers from the miraa growing zones of Meru, who were contracted by Bidco last year, have received more than Sh8 million for produce delivered to the manufacturer of edible oils.
The sunflower farming initiative dubbed ‘Tujiinue Tena’ and spearheaded by Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (Pacja) and Bidco was aimed at diversifying income for miraa farmers hit by loss of markets.
