We’ve made interventions to reduce macadamia production cost, Kindiki says

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, says the Government has made deliberate interventions to reduce the cost of Macadamia production.

Speaking at Embu University Grounds, where he presided over the first National Conference on Macadamia Farming, Kindiki said the interventions will also help in promoting value addition to Macadamia before selling.

The DP said with the Government’s commitment to local value addition and the policy direction that discourages export of raw Macadamia, the sector can earn Kenya over Ksh 10 billion annually besides creating up to 30,000 jobs.

He assured stakeholders of the Government’s commitment to enforcing regulations, enhancing governance, and protecting the reputation of Kenyan produce in global markets.
