A campaign to revive horticulture and reduce over-dependence on tourism has been launched in Malindi.
The African Development Bank has given a Sh10 million loan to Malindi Farmers Cooperative Society to build a mango juice plant.
Another Sh1.7 million was given by CDF for the same project, district agricultural officer Babu Musa said on Wednesday.
One-acre demonstration farms have been started in all the six divisions in the area to teach farmers how to grow fruits and vegetables for local and foreign markets.
“Tonnes of mangoes and other fruits rot in shambas every season but the juice plant to be built beginning December will curb this wastage,” Mr Musa said during a mango exhibition in Msabaha.
