National Treasury and Economic Planning Cabinet Secretary Prof. Njuguna Ndung’u has urged farmers to form co-operatives to benefit from value addition and market aggregation for their produce.
Speaking during the launch of the National Tree Growing and Restoration campaign in Geta ward in Nyandarua County, Ndung’u said that it was only through cooperatives that farmers would benefit from diverse markets in and outside the country.
“Make markets work for everybody and more so for the poor. Once markets are working, we are going to improve productivity and production downstream and what we are going to see is increased income. The formation of cooperatives can easily achieve this,” he said.
