A farmers’ cooperative in Murang’a County, Kenya, has achieved a significant breakthrough by securing international certification for exporting produce. Gatuura Horticulture Farmers’ Cooperative Society is the first group in the county to earn this recognition, opening doors to the European market. The certification was gained after successfully completing a demanding process, supported by undisclosed entities. This milestone enables the cooperative to bypass intermediaries and directly supply horticultural products to Europe. This direct access is expected to improve income for the farmers and boost the local economy. The cooperative’s success sets a precedent for other Kenyan farmers seeking to expand into international markets. This development underscores the growing importance of quality standards for agricultural exports.
