Western Kenya farmers have the opportunity to end overreliance on maize and sugarcane by growing sorghum for Kenya Breweries Limited, the company has said. The Sh15 billion Kisumu plant targets 15,000 farmers from the Lake Region to grow white sorghum used as a raw material. Through the implementation of a ‘West for West’ strategy in the local sourcing of sorghum, the majority of raw materials will be sourced from the region. The bulk of the farmers will be from Kakamega, Kisumu, Siaya, Migori, Homa Bay and Busia.
