COCONUT FARMING IN KENYA | CULTIVATING PROSPERITY

Coconut farming is transforming lives in Kenya's coastal counties of Kwale, Kilifi, Lamu, Taita Taveta, Tana River, and Mombasa. This video showcases how interventions by the Agriculture and Food Authority (AFA) - Nuts and Oil Crops Directorate have boosted the coconut value chain. Farmers now grow the high-yield Sampoorna hybrid coconut variety, which produces up to 350 nuts per tree per season. This is a big leap from the traditional African tall variety, which only yields 50 nuts. The shorter trees also make harvesting easier. This program covers the entire coconut value chain, including sap (palm wine), tender nut (madafu), mature nut (oil and milk), husk, shell (artifacts), leaf (makuti), and wood (furniture). Coconut farming has become a zero-waste industry, improving food security, incomes, and rural development. Watch to see how coconut farming is making an impact. #TheAgricultureReport
