Chief of Staff Felix Koskei is advocating for a significant change in agricultural practices in the Mt. Elgon region of Kenya. He is challenging local farmers to move away from traditional food crops and focus on cultivating high-value cash crops. Koskei believes this shift is crucial for boosting the region’s economic growth, despite its already favorable farming conditions. He highlighted the area’s fertile volcanic soil and suitable climate as advantages that are currently underutilized. The aim is to unlock Mt. Elgon’s untapped economic potential through more profitable agricultural endeavors. This call for diversification seeks to improve livelihoods and foster sustainable economic progress within the community.
